The Underground Almanac features work by graduating students of ICP’s One-Year Certificate programs in Creative Practices, Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism, and New Media Narratives.

One year can be an indistinguishable blur of daily routine or it can be transformative. In the space of a single year, or less, one can galvanize a community, tell a rich story, build a visual language, or lay the foundation for new ways of looking, making, and being.

Photographic media have always contended with this subjective experience of duration—whether time moves fast or whether it’s stopped for a single instant that can be examined forever. ICP’s One-Year Certificate Programs students have each found ways of contending with photographic time and the tumultuous time in which we find ourselves.

Some took on urgent issues of inclusion and exclusion and human rights, some explored how the lens revealed facets of their own identity. Some have even contemplated deep time. Each student stretched themselves to experiment with new materials, new digital tools, and new ways of thinking about the image.

The distances these students in the Creative Practices, Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism, and New Media Narratives programs have come, their momentous growth in the span of less than one year, serves as an inspiration. As ICP enters a new era and moves to our new permanent home at Essex Crossing on the Lower East Side, we celebrate this final exhibition and all the possibilities it represents.
