“Any form of photography is of interest to me, but I especially like candid shots of people, particularly in black and white. People’s moods and actions are best captured when they are unaware and they are best amplified when color is removed and just the basics remain. This collection demonstrates that. As you look at the images, put yourself in their place and feel what they feel. Elation, trepidation, concentration, reflection – all are there and more.” -Bill Haynes
“Photography has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” – Elliot Erwitt

Someday This Will All Be Gone by Portland photographer Mike Vos is a visual narrative of a world without humans and a focus on the regrowth of wildlife. Shot entirely on a 4×5 film camera built in 1916, this series utilizes in-camera double exposures to tell a story of reclamation and redemption amidst a crumbling industrial landscape. Drawing from literary themes such as magical realism, subtle horror and alternate history, this series is a captivating look at the ecological footprint that humans leave behind.

The twenty-one women photographed by Sara Bennett in The Bedroom Project were all convicted of serious crimes— mostly homicide—and spent fourteen to thirty-seven years in a maximum-security prison. By the time they came up for parole they were all profoundly changed, yet most of them were repeatedly denied release because of the crimes they had committed decades earlier.
Bennett writes, “these women were open and trusting enough to allow me into their most private spaces—their bedrooms—and to share the comments that accompany the photos. Like me, they hope this work will shed light on the pointlessness of extremely long sentences and arbitrary parole denials, and thus help their friends still in prison: women (and men) like them who deserve a chance at freedom.”
The Bedroom Project is the second in the Life After Life in Prison series. It has been featured at The FENCE 2018, Photoville 2018, the 10th International Organ Vida Photography Festival, the 2018 Indian Photography Festival, and PDN’s Photo of the Day, among others. This project was also a Top 50 finalist in the 2018 Critical Mass competition.
Sara Bennett has been a public defender specializing in domestic violence and the wrongly convicted. She draws attention to the problems of mass incarceration through her photographs of women who have served decades in prison. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, PBS News Hour/Art Beat, PDN Photo of the Day, and the Marshall Project, and has exhibited in a variety of venues including universities, galleries, the courthouse at 60 Center Street, the Legislative Building in Albany, and the Museum at the Eastern Correctional Facility in Philadelphia.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens “The Photographic Nude 2020” with an opening artists’ reception on Saturday, February 8th from 5-8 p.m. This is the ninth year of the annual international juried exhibit, a collection of photographic prints exploring the artistic and creative view of the body and its form, dedicated to the creative spirit of photographer Ruth Bernhard.
LightBox established “The Photographic Nude“ series in 2011to gain an understanding of the nude historically in the photographic medium. The show features many talented practitioners of the photographic fine art nude from around the world. With 52 images selected for the exhibit from 42 photographers, this year LightBox is pleased to have Douglas Beasley as Juror for the Exhibit.
Douglas Beasley is owner and publisher of SHOTS Magazine, a quarterly journal of eclectic black & white photography now in its’ 35th year of publication. Doug’s personal vision explores the spiritual aspects of people and place and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed in everyday life. His work has been exhibited and published worldwide. Having been a fine-art photographer and photo workshop instructor for many years.
“I want to see photographs that have a strong, honest direct connection to their subject or photos with a sense of mystery or meaning. A compelling image may ask more questions than it answers. There should be an awareness how of the entire frame is utilized not just subject and background. I react to a personal point of view and want to feel the photographer’s presence in the process rather than submitting what they think will be liked by me or others. And even better if something of the maker is revealed as well as the subject.”
Douglas Beasley will give a Juror’s talk ‘Sacredness & Sexuality in the Figure in Landscape’ at 4 pm on Saturday February 8th immediately before the opening reception. Please contact the gallery if you would like a seat.

Law exhibit gives viewers an ultra-real look at nature
An exhibit of 28 surreal and abstract photographs by Pacific Northwest photographer Charles H. Jones is now on view at the UO School of Law.
“Plant Abstractions” takes viewers on a vibrant journey through the looking glass. Jones’ photography of nature is done under intensive magnifications where he finds the color, shape and texture of each flower and plant. Influenced by Georgia O’Keeffe and Dr. Seuss, viewers are sure to have a sensory experience.
A retired mathematician, with a career in the aerospace industry, Jones has always been a plant enthusiast. “My sense of awe is always enhanced when I understand the science involved behind an experience,” Jones said. “I hope my photos provide this same sense of awe in others.”
The images are on display at the Oregon Law Gallery on the second floor of the Knight Law Center through May 20 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
A reception with the photographer is scheduled for Thursday, February 13, from 5-6:30 pm.

Photography has been and continues to be my best teacher. From the first time I read Minor White’s concept of and belief in “Photography as a way of knowing,” it struck me as true to my interest in being a picture maker. I wanted to become a stronger perceiver of the world, all worlds, I walked through. Our world is an amazing place and there is nothing I enjoy more than wandering through it with my eyes wide open and attentive to what is revealed to me. As my pictures get better, I figure I must be learning something. My talk will look at a portion of my journey to this point in time.
Rich Rollins became seriously interested in photography in high school. He has a BS in Education from the University of Vermont, during which he spent a semester at Apeiron Workshops In Photography located in Millerton, New York, and later went on to receive an MFA in Photography from Arizona State University. He is married to photographer Barbara Gilson and they have two children, Emma and Anna. He taught photography at Marylhurst University for 28 years, where he was the inaugural recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award. While at Marylhurst, he was on the exhibition committee at Blue Sky Gallery and a participant in the Portland Grid Project. His most recent show was titled Libra at Blue Sky in October 2016.

free admission
Please join us to celebrate the publication of Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville, a collection of extraordinary aerial images by photographer Michael Light, featuring essays by William Fox, Charles Hood, and Leah Ollman, recently released by Radius Books of Santa Fe.
Michael Light will speak about and show work from the new book; writers William Fox and Charles Hood will respond to Light’s work, as well as giving brief presentations about new books of their own, on such subjects as the artist Michael Heizer, and the mammals and birds of California.
Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville is the fourth volume in Light’s aerial survey, Some Dry Space: An Inhabited West, which “journeys into the vast geological space and time of the Great Basin — the heart of a storied national ‘void’ that is both actual and psychological.”
Lake Lahontan/Lake Bonneville exists both as a dos-a-dos (back-to-back) trade book, and as a pair of very large scale (37 x 45 inch) artist’s books, bound by hand in editions of ten copies. These two artist’s books will also be on display at Passages Bookshop from February 22 through March 28.
PARTICIPANT BIOS
Michael Light is a San Francisco–based photographer focused on the environment and how contemporary American culture relates to it. He has exhibited extensively worldwide, and his work has been collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Research Institute, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others. For the last sixteen years, Light has aerially photographed over settled and unsettled areas of American space, pursuing themes of mapping, vertigo, human impact on the land, and various aspects of geologic time and the sublime. A private pilot and Guggenheim Fellow, he is currently working on an extended aerial survey of arid America titled Some Dry Space: An Inhabited West, published by Radius Books; the first three volumes in the series were Bingham Mine/Garfield Stack (2009), LA Day/LA Night (2011), and Lake Las Vegas/Black Mountain (2014). Light is also widely known for his archival works Full Moon (1999) and 100 Suns (2003).
The writings of William L. Fox constitute a sustained inquiry into how human cognition transforms land into landscape. His numerous nonfiction books rely upon fieldwork with artists and scientists in extreme environments to provide the narratives through which he conducts his investigations. Last year Monacelli Press published Fox’s Michael Heizer: The Once and Future Monuments, the most comprehensive account of Heizer’s work to appear to date. He also serves as the Director of the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. Fox has authored essays for numerous exhibition catalogs and artists’ monographs, and has been awarded fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Poet and naturalist Charles Hood has been a dish washer, a ski instructor, a birding guide in Africa, and a Research Fellow with the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art. His recent books include Mouth, Partially Excited States, and A Californian’s Guide to the Birds Among Us. He lives and teaches in the Mojave Desert.

Anthropocene: The Human Epoch is a cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet. This film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group, who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.
From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in German, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.
At the intersection of art and science, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch witnesses, in an experiential and non-didactic sense, a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.

From Cambodia to the Cascades: A photographer’s visual life
In the arc of my fifty-year career there are several topics that are the core of my evolution from Pulitzer Prize photojournalism to the serenity of landscape photography in Oregon.
When I reflect on these projects I understand how each one moved me visually in a new direction and added a deeper respect for the value of documentary photography.
From Cambodia, Yosemite National Park, the world of ballet, artists of the Sisters Folk Festival and now central Oregon, telling the story of my home, this is my photographic life.
Jay Mather is a Pulitzer Prize awarded photojournalist. His interest in photography
began while he was a Unites States Peace Corps volunteer in Malaysia, 1969-70.
During his career he worked in Denver, Colorado; Louisville, Kentucky, and
Sacramento, California.
During Jay’s career he has covered a wide range of subjects and people. He has
spent time with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity, Pope John Paul II
and President Clinton. On the other end of the spectrum he has worked on projects
about hunger, homelessness, AIDS, and other issues about the less fortunate.
In November 1979, while working for the Courier-Journal in Louisville,
Kentucky, Jay and fellow journalist Joel Brinkley, traveled to the Thailand-
Cambodia border to document the massive exodus of Cambodian refugees fleeing
the wrath of the Khmer Rouge regime and the invading North Vietnamese Army.
This was the beginning of what the world would come to know as the Killing
Fields. Their stories and photographs, a four-day series published in the
Louisville Courier-Journal, were awarded the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for International
Reporting.
Jay has also been a recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Coverage of
the Disadvantaged.
Jay has a deep love and respect for the environment. He has hiked and climbed
while photographing throughout the western United States for projects on
Yosemite National Park, the Desert Protection Act in California, the declining
health of the Sierra mountain range, and climate change in Colorado River
Basin. The Yosemite Association published his book, “Yosemite, A Landscape of
Life,” in 1990 for the centennial celebration of the park. For this project he was a
finalist in the 1991 Pulitzer Prize Feature Photography category.
Jay’s current work examines the natural beauty of central Oregon, the Cascade
Range and the high desert and the threats brought by climate change. He divides
his efforts between the Deschutes Land Trust and the Sisters Folk Festival,
documenting the activities in those non-profit organizations.

This 2019 photomontage series by Friderike Heuer describes some of the common experiences of women across centuries. Just like our physiologies are tied to the phases of the moon so are we tied through shared life events and states connected to our lives. A lot has changed for women; not enough has changed for women. Giving birth, raising children, aging, being loved or abandoned, being controlled or forging our own path has always been basic to the female experience. Finding solace among sisters or competing for scraps as rivals was often part of our existence. Curiosity, skepticism, learning and rebelling had to be fought for. Longing, dreaming and hope were part of the way.

Event is free and open to the public
On February 29, Camerawork Gallery will open “Ditched”, from Texas photographer and trash enthusiast, Becky Wilkes. The exhibit will be on view through March 27 and contains 10 of her original obsessions, gleaned from the nearly 6,000 pieces of trash collected by Wilkes during her 1 year “odd-yssey”, when she combed 1 mile of newly revealed lakefront for trash during the multiyear drought of 2014-15.
It was not until spring floods of 2015 that Wilkes understood the migratory nature of trash in our waterways flowing from our drainage ditches and roadways. Eagle Mountain Lake, while only 14 square miles in size, is fed by a watershed of over 850 square miles. Unlike the trash entering our oceans, this debris is trapped inland in our fresh water supply, restrained by lakes and dams.
Wilkes notes, “When I started this project, I had no idea of the depth and breadth of the materials that lay just below the surface of the water. I was continually amazed by the debris that I found. Plastic straws are not our only issue. We are regularly flushing the entirety of our roadside debris into our drinking water.” Wilkes shares. This one-of-a-kind series portrays a vivid, colorful and quantitative statement of the impact of local litter discarded throughout local watersheds.”
“Ditched” was most recently featured at LHUCA, in Lubbock TX where Hannah Dean, founder of The Bowerbird and writer for Glasstire states, “Removed from their half-buried
lakefront sites, water bottles with the all the charm of used condoms suddenly become aesthetic, once they’re scanned, grouped, printed and mounted on Dibond. Weird.”
Becky Wilkes lives with her husband on Eagle Mountain Lake in Azle, TX. Educated as a Chemical Engineer at Texas A&M, she spent much of her life as a stay-at-home mother of four children who have now blessed her with a multitude of grandchildren. Thus began her study of chaos and order. Her current vocation is a blend of urban archeologist, anthropologist, sociologist, trash collector and photographer.

Portland artist and photographer, Ann Sugiyama-Gardner of Mori Hana Studio, will be presenting 2 series of current works, “Family of Origin” and “Imperfect Beauty”.
In her series “Family of Origin” Ann reflects on her experiences as a third generation Japanese-American and what happened to Japanese immigrants during the 1940’s. Through that lens, she calls attention to the Latino and Muslim immigrants’ struggles today.
Many immigrants start with nothing but honest, hard work, to gain a foothold on the ladder of success in America. For her family, December 7, 1941 was the extinction of that day-to-day struggle. Mass incarceration soon followed without due process of the laws of the United States. “What damage was caused to individuals and what are the lasting effects on the family by imprisonment? On me and my family.”
This question lead to a road trip to Poston, Arizona and Manzanar, California, two of the ten “camps” hastily built to incarcerate over 125,000 Japanese/Americans from 1942-1946. The artist’s mother’s family was sent to Poston, Arizona for incarceration. Her grandfather died in prison for, at this time, unknown reasons.
On the flip-side, Ann will present a second series of prints that celebrate color, texture, and light inspired by the practice of Buddhist Mindfulness and the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi.
She was moved to the practice of Contemplative Photography first by studying Edward Weston’s work then reading Michael Wood’s book specifically about the subject. “Imperfect Beauty” is the ongoing photography project that responds to the act of being present. “Intuitively working this way, my mind is open to whatever images present themselves and quiet my critique brain.”

Hosted by Stu Levy accompanied by several of his own collection of original Adam’s works. This portrait of Ansel Adams, one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, captures the spirit and artistry of the man as he talks about his life and demonstrates the techniques which have made his work legendary.
Jim Wojno on April 20, 2018 Writes:
“This is a wonderful tribute to Ansel Adams. There is, thankfully, almost no commentary from an interviewer — just 60 minutes of pure Ansel reminiscing about his work, friends, and life. There is an expecially touching and humorous scene with Adams and Georgia O’Keeve — their banter is priceless as you look inside their personal history as if no one else was present — two monumental artists of the 20th cenury yucking it up. I don’t think this video was intended to be a comprehensive study of Adam’s life and works — the PBS 2-part series does that very well. This video, however, provides some genuine intimacy, perhaps as much as we outsiders will ever get. Some may complain this video lacks technical information or reasons why he took a particular image, but Adams preferred to express his feelings visually, where words would simply degrade or cloud a viewer’s feelings. The video, btw, is artfully and tastefully filmed and scored.
Jim Wojno was the Graphic Designer Art Director with Corning Life Sciences for 28 years and is a successful Landscape Photographer.85

From 1892 to 1954 Ellis Island in New York Harbor was a gateway for millions of immigrants to America. Washington State photographer John DuBois’s mother was among them. This project began as a journey of family history but evolved into an exploration of place, of who came and, of the spirit of what remains. It was a multi-year project which developed into a project within a project. The images in this series are constructed from historical images and the present, physical state of the hospital buildings on Ellis Island. Arriving immigrants with medical needs were treated here and this history combined with the island’s close proximity to the Statue of Library invite questions of who we are and how we came to be here.
DuBois notes, “We all came from somewhere; feelings of place and history are deeply rooted in family and society. I knew at a fairly young age that I was ‘half’ Italian. This came from my mother’s side who arrived among the many Southern European immigrants to the United States. I only came to appreciate the meaning of this heritage much later in life. When an initial opportunity to photograph restricted areas of the hospital complex on Ellis Island presented itself, it was the draw of this family connection that drew me here as a place. After many more visits it grew to an understanding of who was here and for me a connection to where I came from.” Selected works from this series have appeared in several group shows, received Paris Photo Prize recognition, exhibited in Blue Sky Gallery’s Viewing Drawers (2017) and published in Lenswork’s Sixes, 2017. Works are also held in private collections. The images are constructs framing past, historical images with the present state of Ellis Island and invites questions of self, history and our humanity.
John DuBois lives in Issaquah, WA (near Seattle) with his wife and two energetic Golden Doodle siblings. DuBois arrived in the Pacific Northwest by way of the East Coast and Wisconsin, growing up on the Jersey Shore, earning a B.A. in Economics at The George Washington University and then graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was introduced to photography early through the family’s Polaroid (the peel-apart film type) camera which instilled early on an interest in photographic arts that included a full slate of photography classes while in college and leading to an enduring, life-long interest in photography as a means of connections and communication.

What could be better than the tumbledown texture of a ghost town, and the beauty of dancers and models, combined to create beautiful, moody portraits? In this special workshop, photographer Fritz Liedtke is combining two of his favorite things–historic places and beautiful faces–to teach you how to create stunning portraiture.
Join us for 3 days in the John Day River Territory, in north central Oregon. We’ll gather at PJ Ranch, where Fritz will share from his 30 years of experience photographing people. You’ll learn about professional lighting (natural light and off-camera flash), building rapport with subjects, posing, strong composition, good clothing choices, camera and lens options, and much more. We’ll spend time at ghost towns hidden in the local area where Fritz will give demonstration shoots, and then you’ll have hours to photograph with models and dancers, with his oversight and input. Fritz takes a hands-on approach to learning by introducing you to a concept and then letting you apply it immediately, with his feedback. It’s the best way to learn.
But the workshop doesn’t end there. In the weeks following the workshop, you have the option to sign up for an additional 1-on-1 consultation, looking over your final work and giving you further insight for improvement. We want you to end up with photographic confidence, professional insight, real-life experience, and photographs you are proud of.
If you’d like to try out some new photo gear, our sponsor ProPhoto Supply will give you a significant discount off a rental item for the weekend, and our sponsor Lensbaby will have their amazing lenses on hand for you to create with during the workshop!
The Ghost Town Portrait Workshop is an all-inclusive 3-day experience. You’ll be provided with hors d’oeuvres and meals, lodging at the local inn (single or double occupancy), models and dancers to photograph, and all of Fritz’s attention. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

Adobe Lightroom is the essential tool for organizing, editing, and sharing your photography.

He will also teach you how to use the many tools in Lightroom to import and arrange your LR Library, and create award winning images such as the one above.
The workshop will include 4 3-hour live sessions with Steve on Zoom. Each session will be held on a Saturday from 10 A.M. PST to 1 P.M. If you can’t make all the sessions that’s okay. They will all be recorded and shared.

• 12-hours of live interactive training. You will be able to ask questions during each session.
• Image files to work on during and after the workshop.
• Video recording of each session.

Exhibition at: www.donjacobsonphoto.com/Fire&Ice/Fire&Ice.html
The link provided is a virtual exhibit that was originally scheduled to be shown at the Walter’s Cultural Art Center in Hillsboro, April and May 2020. The city wisely shutdown the center to protect the public and my photographs were never hung. I have included a link to the images that were to be exhibited.
www.donjacobsonphoto.com/Fire&Ice/Fire&Ice.html
The concept of the exhibition is to juxtapose two extremes, fire and ice. The “fire” part of the show is a collection of photographs from Yellowstone National Park in 2018 and the “ice” segment was photographed over a number of years in the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area, Oregon.

Sarah Graves "The Unknown" online now

Sarah Graves, The Unknown
Exhibition at: www.gravesstudios.com
The Unknown is a curation of images made by Portland photographer Sarah Graves. Sarah values analog methods of art making and uses film to make her photographs. Analog photography slows down the creative process and allows for reflection while making the images. This collection of images entices the viewer to ask questions, luring them to make their own interpretation of what they are seeing. The photographs invite your imagination to create its own story about each scene. Some of the images are subtly haunting, others are dreamy, quiet landscapes that provoke feelings of uncertainty or the uncanny. Drawing on themes of anxiety and uncertainty of the future, these photographs offer comfort by the commonality of unease we feel during these times.
The images will be no longer be exhibited in the gallery and no formal opening reception will be held due to COVID-19. A virtual reception will be held for the length of the show at www.gravesstudios.com.

Bobby Abrahamson’s “North Portland Polaroids” at the Plaza of St. Johns (outside)
2020-09-06 17:00 - 20:00 | St. Johns Plaza, Portland, OR, 97203, United States
Bobby Abrahamson’s, North Portland Polaroids
Opening: September 6, 5-8pm
Closing Celebration of “Summer Park,”and exhibit: September 26th and 27th, 3pm-8pm
Exhibition will run from September 6-27, 2020
St. Johns Plaza, intersection of N. Philadelphia Ave. and N. Lombard St.,
Portland, Oregon 97203
(right at the end of the St. Johns Bridge, where Philadelphia meets Lombard, in the heart of St. Johns)
Since the work will be hanging in a public space, it can be viewed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week!
Outdoor Exhibit: More than 450 11×14” darkroom prints hanging from clothes lines in the Plaza of St. Johns neighborhood
Bobby Abrahamson will be exhibiting all 450+ portraits from his 10-year project “North Portland Polaroids” in the Plaza and “Summer Park” in the center of St. Johns for 3 weeks this September. All the photographs will be 11×14 fiber-based darkroom prints hanging from wires strung between trees, also possibly hanging from wires on the top of fencing that borders the park. It will be similar to the exhibit of the work Abrahamson had back in 2015 in St. Johns (see image below, and video link), but this time all the prints will be hanging outside, literally blowing in the wind, at the mercy of the weather and the public!
At the end of the exhibit, at a “closing celebration” of the park, subjects of the photos and their friends / family will be invited to take a print from the exhibit home with them for free! In other words, this is an exhibit for the community, and the prints will be free for members of the community to “harvest” from the exhibit at it’s conclusion!
Bobby will also be setting up with his 4×5 camera and instant film several days during the 3 weeks to photograph residents of St. Johns and add to the exhibit.
A big thanks to the creative vision and community activism of Lauren Everett for making this exhibition possible! Also thanks to the St. Johns Boosters!

Zeb Andrews has lived his entire life in the Pacific Northwest, wandering its trails and photographing every opportunity he gets. His day job is at Blue Moon Camera and Machine, a pretty awesome camera shop if he does say so himself. Working at a camera store has led him down many adventurous paths in his photography and inspired him to try many different cameras and films over the years. While his work is as varied as his curiosity, he has carried around a Holga for over a decade and found numerous ways to put that simple plastic camera to good use. One series of images he has created with this camera he calls Holgaramas, and they involve using multiple shots across an entire (or more than an entire) roll of film, piecing the individual frames together like a puzzle to create images in ways he cannot do with single frames. Having added to this collection over several years, he has had time to refine both his technique in making them as well as his thoughts regarding his motivations behind these Holgaramas and what they have taught him about the process of photography.

Kiliii Yuyan at Blue Sky Gallery (virtual)
2020-09-27 08:00 - 17:00 | Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Kiliii Yuyan, Rumors of Arctic Belonging
September 3–27, 2020*
https://www.instagram.com/blueskygallerypdx/
*Starting on August 15th, Blue Sky will be open Wednesday—Saturday from 12PM – 5PM with priority given to visitors who make an appointment online. Visits are limited to one hour. Reserve your appointment now at blueskygallery.org/appointments
In his exhibition, Rumors of Arctic Belonging, Kiliii Yuyan will present a selection of his photographs taken throughout the Arctic, where the climate and the landscape are radically changing and those who call the region home continue to adapt. A Native Siberian, Yuyan reflects upon his role as both insider and outsider as he documents current traditions while looking towards the Arctic’s future. He writes, “A future North awaits– not cold and unchanging, but living, dying and being reborn. Everyday memories of the Arctic will pass forward as they always have, kept by its Indigenous peoples and hidden in plain sight.”
Kiliii Yuyan is a photographer based out of Seattle, but he can be found across the circumpolar Arctic much of the year. Informed by ancestry that is both Nanai/Hèzhé (Siberian Native) and Chinese-American, he explores the human relationship to the natural world from different cultural perspectives. Yuyan is a 2020 NiaTero Storytelling fellow, Pulitzer Center grantee, and one of PDN’s 30 Emerging Photographers (2019), as well as an award-winning contributor to National Geographic Magazine and other major publications. Yuyan’s public talks inspire others about photography, Indigenous perspectives and wilderness around the globe. He also builds traditional kayaks and contributes to the revitalization of northern Indigenous culture.
