Through Fire and Thunder, 2022 Image Equity Fellowship Group Exhibition

The 2022 Image Equity Fellowship awarded twenty U.S.-based image makers of color with $20,000 in unrestricted funds as well as a six-month fellowship in which the artists made new bodies of work with dedicated mentorship and workshops led by industry experts.

The Fellows’ new bodies of work, on view in Through Fire and Thunder, explore urgent, untold stories of their communities through the lenses of identity, belonging, movement and memory, coming of age and home.

Read more about the artists of the Image Equity Fellowship.

This exhibition is free and open to all.
