American Job: 1940–2011 Closing Date

There’s still time to experience American Job: 1940–2011 before it closes on May 5. This sweeping exhibition brings together over 130 photographs, photobooks, and archival materials to explore how work—and the struggle for workers’ rights—has shaped American life. 

Spanning more than 70 years of photographic responses to labor movements, activism, and social change, American Job offers powerful visual narratives from both renowned and under-recognized photographers. Curated by Makeda Best, the exhibition not only reveals the historical impact of organized labor, but also underscores the evolving role of photography in documenting collective action and economic justice.
