ABOUT THE JUROR
Stephanie Mercedes is a Argentinian/American performance artist who graduated from Smith College with a degree in Latin American Politics and Studio Art. Mercedes has performed and exhibited in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Switzerland and the US.
Juror’s Statement
How can images not only document political events but themselves be political acts? Question politics around them? React, subvert politics? Imagine a better world so it can be executed? Historically, artists reflect their contemporary moment. This exhibition will push photographs further. Artworks that are photography in its expanded form or documented in photography will be accepted.
