Exhibition Details

This exhibition brings together the work of seven artists primarily working in photography—Widline Cadet, Koyoltzintli, Tarrah Krajnak, Shala Miller, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Keisha Scarville, and Sasha Wortzel.

Curated by Sara Ickow, Associate Director of Exhibitions, Keisha Scarville Guest Curator, and Elisabeth Sherman, Senior Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at ICP.

Additional Details

Moving away from the centrality of the institutional archive, the artists in To Conjure expand its parameters by engaging with materials—clothing, instruments, the landscape and more—beyond photographs and documents alone. By working with a myriad of contemporary materials, these artists create new histories and material sensibilities.
