Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe, NM, is pleased to return to exhibit at The Photography Show presented by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). The longest-running fair dedicated to photography in the world fair will take place April 23 – 27 at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave, New York, NY and showcase 67 galleries and 20 Photobook and partner exhibitors from around the world.
Monroe Gallery of Photography will be located at Booth C8 and will present a distinctly curated exhibit, with a central focus on Diné (Navajo) photographer Eugene Tapahe’s “Art Heals: TheJingle Dress Project”. “The Jingle Dress Project” originated from Tapahe's dream inspiring him to bring global attention to Native American issues in these uncertain times of social differences through the healing power of the Ojibwe jingle dress dance. Since then, Tapahe has traveled over 25,000 miles, documenting family members dancing the healing jingle dress dance in National Parks and Monuments, honoring the places where their ancestors once lived. This project has received national and international recognition for its unifying effect on communities. Monroe Gallery is the exclusive representative for Tapahe’s “Jingle Dress” fine art prints. Tapahe will give an Artist's talk on Friday, April 25 at 5:30 pm in Booth C8.
Also on exhibit will be a selection of important contemporary photojournalism with a focus on American politics, climate issues, and refugee migration. Three newly represented independent photojournalists will be featured: Tracy Barbutes, Ron Haviv and Bing Guan. Barbutes is a photojournalist, writer, and wildfire photographer based near Yosemite whose photograph of an upside-down American flag hanging from El Capitan near Yosemite recently went viral. Haviv has produced an unflinching record of the injustices of war covering over 25 conflicts, and his photography has had singular impact.
