Fall 2024 exhibition Transforming Moments
Photographs by Kay Chernush.
Thursday, December 19, 5 to 8 p.m.
Kay Chernush’s assignments and interests took her all over the world in search of the “transforming moment” — using her camera to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to reveal the conditions of her subjects with empathy, curiosity, and a particular frame. This exhibition brings together some of Chernush’s most evocative images, taken on location in Brazil, Ghana, Morocco, France, Italy, Spain, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Thailand and beyond.
