The Halide Project presents a conversation with their September artists Dafna Talmor and Ella Morton. They will discuss their work and approach to image-making featured in the exhibition “Fractured Lands”.

Lonnie Graham and Donald E. Camp will join us for an artist talk to provide insight on their photographic practice in relation to "Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection", the exhibition currently on view at the InLiquid Gallery. This exhibition, curated by Lonnie Graham, features work by photographers Donald E. Camp and Clarence Williams, and poet Ursula Rucker. The exhibition commemorates the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and the impact it had on New Orleans residents.

Migration Visualized:  Transformation of the Social Structure

This conversation explores how the photographers’ practices intersect through themes of migration, navigation, memory, and transformation through the lens of social and historical structures.  Although their approaches vary - spanning printmaking, photography, new technologies, book arts, and participatory projects - they share a deep engagement with image-making and multidisciplinary methods that reimagine how histories, geographies, and identities are visualized.

Henry Horenstein has had a long career as a photographer, filmmaker, and teacher. His work is collected and exhibited internationally, and he has published over 35 books, including several monographs of his own work such as Honky Tonk, Histories, Show, Animalia, Humans, Racing Days, Close Relations, and many others. Henry will speak about his new book; Miles and Miles of Texas.  The book features a collection of nearly 100 photographs that Henry has taken all over the state, mostly between 2021-2024. Texas has been a continual source of inspiration for Henry, and these pictures reflect the people, places, music, and culture that make Texas so unique.

Take a bus ride with us to The Frances M. Maguire Art Museum at St. Joseph's University to see their latest exhibit Looping: Ground  featuring two photo-based installations by artists Maria Dumlao and Julianna Foster that investigate our evolving relationship with the environment through the framework of structure. Drawing imagery from the Barnes Arboretum at Saint Joseph’s University, the artists explore the quiet rhythms, repetitions, and subtle transformations inherent in natural systems. Each installation utilizes photography to explore how these organic processes intersect with, inform, or resist the built environments that surround us.  After the exhibit, we will take photos in the arboretum and then head back to Unique Photo.  Limit 35 people.
