In a time of profound change, the four artists featured in Otherwise Disregarded harness the transformative power of art to nurture creative expression, challenge notions of justice, and foster a deep connection between the mind, body, and society at large. They use visual tools for self-reflection, addressing complex social, political, and environmental issues that should not be dismissed.
This Special Capture Photography Exhibition showcases compelling photographic and video works that encourage viewers to contemplate deeply the current social, political, and environmental state of the world. It brings attention to the painful past linked with colonial injustice, social discrimination, intergenerational experiences, and environmental devastation, calling for justice and a sustainable future.
Otherwise Disregarded is co-organized by the Audain Art Museum and Capture Photography Festival. The exhibition is curated by Kiriko Watanabe, Gail & Stephen A. Jarislowsky Curator, Audain Art Museum and Emmy Lee Wall, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Capture Photography Festival as a Featured Exhibition for the 2024 Festival.
