generations

Clifton Cultural Arts Center presents “Generations,” an open-call photography exhibition that investigates the polyvalent ways in which generations are both markers of time and also vessels that carry the currents of social ideas and cultural shifts.  There are generations of artists, ideas, and technologies. This exhibition also offers the opportunity to speculate and project into future generations, envisioning the world through the lenses of emerging issues like sustainability and social progress. Embracing the themes of “Backstories” as part of the 2024 FotoFocus biennial, “Generations” uniquely intertwines past, present, and future through the lens of photography. Artists responding to this call were encouraged to embrace creativity and explore a wide array of subjects, from intimate family portraits to vibrant cultural traditions to sweeping societal transformations and beyond.  This exhibition will illuminate the interconnected histories of our communities in CCAC’s new Elizabeth Nourse gallery.

Exhibited artists include: Ron Blassingame, Teresa Burkey, Michael Coppage, Kendall Gilliam, Samantha Grant, Brian Greer, William Jones, Michael Kearns, Laura Kinney-Porter, Maggie Lawson, Casey LeClair, ChengLun Na, Kathy Parsanko Jo, Alane Shoemaker, J Michael Skaggs, Connie Springer, Matt Steffen, Harper Thomson, Cliff Warnken, and Dan Wheeler.
