A picture is worth a thousand words and often our very human perceptions fuel very human illusions. This exhibit explores the beauty and the mystery of “humans being.” Throughout history, the portrait has been used to capture a person in a moment in time as much as it has been used to control the narrative of how one is presented, perceived, or remembered. Through the medium of photography, ASLD invites artists to challenge human perceptions of who we think we know and why. Celebrate Month of Photography in Denver with us!
