Facing Change: Documenting America

Spring '12 Art Exhibition

Just as the Farm Security Administration sent photographers to cover the Great Depression, a collective called Facing Change: Documenting America has enlisted artists—including two Pulitzer Prize-winning photographers—to record America’s current struggles.

In the Underground Gallery at The Sanctuary for Independent Media, we bring innovative media and visual artists to the Capital Region of New York State, and are dedicated to presenting artists whom mainstream media and art venues often neglect.  We especially seek artists who push their art to create new languages and expressive forms; we feature works with an aesthetic and conceptual edge that challenge the viewers to look at the world anew.  We strive to inspire folks by bringing visibility to cutting edge creative projects and networks, and by educating the to use media arts and technology for creative resistance projects designed to motivate citizens to integrate art and independent, critical thinking into their active lives.
