Diné (Navajo) photographer Eugene Tapahe will give an Artist's talk on Friday, April 25 at 5:30 pm in Booth C8 during The Photography Show Presented by AIPAD.

Eugene Tapahe is a contemporary artist inspired by his Diné (Navajo) traditions and modern experiences. His art reflects the beauty and resilience of Native American culture. Tapahe earned his MFA in Studio Art from Brigham Young University. Through various visual mediums, he strives to create a balance between the past and present, celebrating and honoring the identity and culture of Native Americans.

Eugene Tapahe will speak about “Art Heals: TheJingle Dress Project”. “The Jingle Dress Project” originated from Tapahe's dream inspiring him to bring global attention to Native American issues in these uncertain times of social differences through the healing power of the Ojibwe jingle dress dance. Since then, Tapahe has traveled over 25,000 miles, documenting family members dancing the healing jingle dress dance in National Parks and Monuments, honoring the places where their ancestors once lived. This project has received national and international recognition for its unifying effect on communities. Monroe Gallery is the exclusive representative for Tapahe’s “Jingle Dress” fine art prints.

Save the date: Two Pioneering Women Photographers of The Photo League Gallery Talk April 21

 

TWO PIONEERING WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE PHOTO LEAGUE

Opening Gallery talk April 21 with managers of the photographer’s estates, Joe Meyer, son of Sonia Handelman Meyer, and Heather Garrison, granddaughter of Ida Wyman. The talk starts promptly at 5:30, seating is limited and RSVP is essential. Zoom registration here. The exhibition continues through June 18, 2023.

The Photo League was a collective of photographers active between 1936-1951 who believed their work could change poor social conditions and champion photography as an art form in the process. The Photo League thrived as one of the most progressive, dynamic and creative centers for photography in America, and was unusual in its time as many of the collective’s members were women.

In the 1940s when McCarthyism started gathering momentum in the US, suspicious authorities decided to clamp down on the Photo League’s confrontational and uncensored representations of urban American society. In 1948, it was declared a subversive organization and blacklisted. As the league’s secretary at the time, Sonia Handelman Meyer answered the office phone when requests for comment about the accusations poured in from the media. “It got to be too much,” she told The New York Times. “They were blacklisting people”.

Both photographer’s work went unrecognized for decades. In recent years, there has been a revived interest in the radical collective that contributed incomparably towards promoting early street photography as an art form.
