On View through May 25, 2025

Drawing from works by more than 40 photographers in the ICP collection, with the addition of exhibition prints from contemporary photographers, American Job: 1940-2011 highlights the collection’s breadth and contemporary relevance by surveying the photographic response to labor organizing and strike activity, race and gender discrimination in labor, organized labor’s role in politics, labor and activism, and the intersection of labor and the social changes wrought by the economic restructurings of the twentieth century.

What if Women Rule the World?

On View through January 05, 2025

This solo exhibition of A Room of Their Own and Archives of Abuse will be part of a cycle of exhibitions exclusively dedicated to the work of women artists or artists who identify as female, under the broader umbrella title, What if Women Ruled the World?

From December 2023 to November 2024, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMΣT) presents a cycle of exhibitions, in four parts, exclusively dedicated to the work of women artists or artists who identify as female, under the broader umbrella title, What if Women Ruled the World? The cycle of exhibitions is based on an often-repeated hypothetical question: What would happen if governance was characterized by female traits?

Questions are posed not because we argue in favour of the establishment of a matriarchy, but because the programme aims to invite reflection on whether there is an alternative to the dominant patriarchal paradigm that is seemingly leading the world to climate meltdown, environmental degradation and war-induced destruction. At the same time, it is also a reconsideration of art history, especially in country like Greece, which for years has marginalised or rendered invisible so many women artists.

Crossings at Texas State University

On View through February 25, 2025

This exhibition explores the border and its crossings by bringing together Susan Meiselas and the participatory art and education project known as Borderland Collective, whose locally centered engagement with the border fosters vulnerability, uncertainty, and self-reflection while giving voice to the lived experiences of the borderlands. It considers how Meiselas’ installation Crossings irrevocably links the clandestine movement of migrants to a longer history of U.S. imperialism in Central America.

See how documentary photography transformed during the 1970s.
The 1970s was a decade of uncertainty in the United States. Americans witnessed soaring inflation, energy crises, and the Watergate scandal, as well as protests about pressing issues such as the Vietnam War, women’s rights, gay liberation, and the environment. The country’s profound upheaval formed the backdrop for a revolution in documentary photography. Activism and a growing awareness and acceptance of diversity opened the field to underrepresented voices. At the same time, artistic experimentation fueled the reimagining of what documentary photographs could look like.

Featuring some 100 works by more than 80 artists, The ʼ70s Lens examines how photographers reinvented documentary practice during this radical shift in American life.
