The Fifteenth Annual Survey Exhibition: Sponsored by Pacific New Media Foundation. Opens online February 10, 2024. Gallery exhibition hosted by Downtown Art Center, Honolulu, Hawai‘i, February 1-10, 2024.
Jurors: Selection of Pacific New Media core faculty: Alison Beste, Peter Shaindlin, and David Ulrich
This juried exhibition is open to all artists in Hawaii using photographic processes: analog or digital, color or BXW, alternative processes
As usual, the jurors attempted to reflect the strength and diversity of contemporary photography in Hawai‘i. They were pleased to find many themes that mirror both the sentiment of our times and the issues of the day: climate change, identity, displacement, and culture in its many forms, as well as images that explore the ocean, land, and environment. They found both praise of place and celebration of life’s many forms as well as critical commentary and the paradox of beauty amidst challenging conditions
