Imaging Issues, Imagining Solutions

Kike Arnal's photography series "In the Shadows of Power: Poverty in Washington DC," part of the Open Society Institute's Moving Walls 12, anchors an exhibition made more powerful by images by eight Baltimore photographers, who deliberately reacted to Arnal's work by photographing an array of issues including homelessness, crime, class disparity, prostitution, and other urban problems.

The exhibition also features a "Label Project": comments from Baltimoreans in response to Arnal's photographs touching upon the complexity of the issues addressed.

Baltimore Photographers: Michael Cantor, Evelyn Chatmon, Marshall Clarke, Andy Cook, Peggy Fox, Frank Klein, Sofia Silva, Alex Valente.

Panel Discussion

Join Jeff Singer, Executive Director of Healthcare for the Homeless; Mary Joel Davis, Founder and Executive Director of Alternative Directions, an organization dedicated to helping men and women in prison and those leaving prison become independent, responsible citizens; and the Baltimore photographers whose work is included in the exhibition in a wide-ranging, solutions-oriented discussion moderated by Marc Steiner.
