Photo-Role-Playing

A group show of ASU students and faculty, Arizona, national and international artists, on the relationship between photography and performance / performativity, involving embodiment, representation and self-representation, masquerading, enactment, role-play, body politics, gender and cultural identity. Photography epitomizes a long history of tensions, objectification, and oppression, as well as of agency, experimentation, self-determination and autonomy. Photo-Role-Playing is an exhibition that centers the body through performing the self and others in photography as a vital form of agency in contemporary art.
