Call for Submissions - Occupy Wall Street
Photographic Exhibition and Companion Website
The Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park spawned not only a national movement but also a rich visual record of its short but powerful presence in the city. Professional photographers who covered OWS, both downtown and around the city, are invited to submit pictures for consideration for a group exhibition, opening January 25 at the South Street Seaport Museum.
The show is part of the Museum’s reopening under the new management of the Museum of the City of New York, an institution renowned for its world-class photography collection, including the work of Berenice Abbott, Jacob Riis, Stanley Kubrick for LOOK Magazine, and many others, as well as for critically acclaimed photography exhibitions. “OWS” will be one of the inaugural exhibitions in a lively new mix of contemporary and historical material in the reinvented Seaport Museum, a vibrant new cultural and educational space in Lower Manhattan.
Deadline for entries is 9:00 am December 12, 2011.
The museum will also be staging an online exhibition that is open to all for submissions.
