About In Light and Shadow: A Photographic History from Indigenous AmericaThe history of photography–and the Americas–is incomplete without the critical work and perspectives of Indigenous American photographers. Since the 1800s, cameras have been in the hands of Indigenous people, and they have incorporated photography into their lives as creators, patrons, and collectors.Five years ago, photographers Brian Adams and Sarah Stacke set off on a mission to assemble a groundbreaking, digital library of Indigenous photographers from the 19th century to the present. With In Light and Shadow: A Photographic History from Indigenous America, Adams and Stacke expand on that work, creating a one-of-a-kind collection of photographs that offers a first-hand look at the people, cultures, and evolving traditions of Indigenous America while providing a counterhistory to settler-colonial narratives.From Jennie Fields Ross Cobb, the earliest known Indigenous American woman photographer, to Arhuaco documentarian Amado Villafaña Chaparro, through Kapuleiikealoonalani Flores, a Native Hawaiian who was born in 2000, the photographers span many generations as well as multiple Indigenous societies and nations. Each entry includes a biographical sketch of the artist, along with their inspirations and contributions to the photographic medium. About Community PartnersABC No Rio is a volunteer-led nonprofit community center for arts and activism. Since 1980, we have provided a home for the culture of opposition and DIY culture – facilitating cross-pollination between artists and activists committed to current social movements.

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.

As Japan / A Love Story comes to a close, we invite you to experience this deeply contemplative exhibition that reflects Michael Kenna’s decades-long photographic dialogue with the Japanese landscape.Bringing together atmospheric long exposures and subtle compositions, the works on view offer more than visual documentation—they are meditations on stillness, tradition, and the emotional terrain of place. Each image carries a quiet power, drawing viewers into states of awareness and care.Presented in partnership with Nikkei and the Financial Times, the exhibition remains on view at ICP’s Ground Floor during museum and café hours.
