Fall 2025 Exhibitions Tour
This event is free with museum admission.Join us for a guided walking tour of the exhibitions Graciela Iturbide: Serious Play, Naima Green: Instead, I spin fantasies, and Sergio Larrain: Wanderings, led by a museum educator. About the ExhibitionsGraciela Iturbide: Serious PlayThe first ever retrospective of Iturbide’s work in New York City. This landmark exhibition, organized in collaboration with Fundación MAPFRE and curated by Carlos Gollonet, Chief Curator of Photography at Fundación MAPFRE, features nearly 200 photographs spanning five decades of her groundbreaking career.Iturbide learned photography under renowned Mexican modernist Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Throughout her career, Iturbide traveled extensively throughout Mexico–and beyond–turning her attention to communal life, indigenous communities, and the interactions between nature and culture.Naima Green: Instead, I spin fantasiesThe exhibition grapples with the concept of pregnancy through constructed self-portraits, landscapes and still-lifes—blurring the line between documentary and performance. Green probes the conventional expectations and representational tropes of motherhood, while also creating an expanded space for considering the experience of pregnancy in America.Curated by Guest Curator Elisabeth Sherman, Instead, I spin fantasies brings together dozens of new works, including photographs printed using the historical technologies of albumen and lumen printing processes, along with a site-specific vinyl installation that utilizes the architecture of ICP’s third floor galleries.Sergio Larrain: WanderingsAn exhibition consisting of prints drawn entirely from the Magnum Photos archive. Curated by Agnès Sire, former Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris, the exhibition primarily highlights the work Larrain made during the first twenty years of his career, in cities such as Valparaíso, Santiago, Paris and London.Wanderings provides a new perspective on Larrain’s inventive and humanist photography that for decades has remained little seen and seldom exhibited, looking at both the material and spiritual drama of rural and urban life while also charting the subtle evolution of Larrain’s style.

The Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series with JEB
Join us at ICP for the next installment of the fall Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer lecture series featuring activist, filmmaker, and photographer JEB. JEB will discuss the trajectory of her work from the 1970s to the present day and the ever-present intersection of politics and art making.This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC's Lower East Side, and online. Current ICP students and faculty of the One-Year Certificate programs are automatically enrolled and invited to attend all lectures. About the SeriesThe 2025-2026 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family.ICP is thrilled to honor Naomi Rosenblum’s contribution to the field and to further her life’s work through this lecture series. Naomi Rosenblum was one of the leading photography historians of her generation and the author of A World History of Photography and A History of Women Photographers. The 2025-2026 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family. About the SpeakersJEB (Joan E. Biren) has been influential within LGBTQI+ communities and the wider public by actively challenging the representation of lesbians, the way that we understand photographic history, and how we speak about image-making. Her first book, Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians, originally published in 1979, was reissued in 2021 by Anthology Editions. JEB’s second book, Making a Way: Lesbians Out Front was reissued in July 2025. The Dyke Show, described as “an astounding compendium of lesbian imagery and ideas,” was restored and digitized with a new live narration by JEB in 2023. This year it has been presented at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian, and Le Bal in Paris.In the 1970s, JEB was part of two lesbian collectives: The Furies, which produced an historic newspaper and Moonforce Media, which distributed feminist films from 1975 to 1980. In the early 1990s, JEB transitioned from making photographic stills and slideshows to filmmaking. Her award-winning films on LGBTQI+ history are available through Frameline distribution. JEB’s photographic work is represented in many collections including the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and the Academy of Arts in Berlin, Germany. JEB, now 81 years old, lives surrounded by chosen family and occasionally tries to retire from photography and filmmaking. Her plan is never to retire from social justice activism. © (JEB) Joan E.

Opening Reception ICP Incubator Space—”Jon Henry: Stranger Fruit”
Celebrate the opening of Jon Henry: Stranger Fruit, the newest exhibition in ICP’s free ground floor Incubator Space during Thursday’s Late Night hours. ICP faculty member and photographer Jon Henry will be present for brief remarks and to sign copies of his photobook, Stranger Fruit, now in its second edition published by KGP Monolith. Jon Henry’s Stranger Fruit is a response to the epidemic of police killings of Black men—his answer to the question “Who is next? Me? My brother? My friends? How do we protect these men?” For several years, Henry traveled around the United States photographing Black mothers holding their sons in poses reminiscent of Renaissance paintings of the Virgin Mary cradling Jesus following the crucifixion, as well as the mothers alone. The project also includes writing by the mothers expressing their understanding that while they have not lost their sons, it is an ever-present possibility. Portrayed alone, the portraits reflect that potential absence and how, as Henry puts it, when “the protesters have gone home and the news cameras gone, it is the mother left. Left to mourn, to survive.” Stranger Fruit was published as a book in 2022 and has been previously exhibited, but for this installation Henry went back into his archives, pulling together documents, maps, and other ephemera that trace the creation of the project. A generous act of transparency, this presentation allows visitors to see the creative and administrative work that goes into developing a long-term project. About the ICP Incubator SpaceICP’s Incubator Space is a new exhibition program designed to highlight the work of emerging photographers who are responding in real time to the world around us. ICP will present a rotating selection of projects by imagemakers experimenting with and pushing boundaries around the documentary tradition. The space is free and open to the public during café and museum hours. About the Artist Jon Henry is a visual artist working with photography and text, from Queens NY (resides in Brooklyn).
