“Hollow Sounds” Group Exhibition Open Call

We are excited to invite early-career photographers based in and around the New York City area to submit their work to Hollow Sounds, an independently curated survey of contemporary photography. Insistent upon regulating time, labor, and bodies, late capitalist society imparts a haunted outline to images of inaction, always suggesting an obligation beyond and unease within their borders. Although these scenes often evoke silence, the act of capturing an image necessarily weaves a soundscape of human imagination through the quiet. Hollow Sounds argues for the value of visuals as catalysts for generating subjective worlds of sound.

NYC4PA MONOCHROME

The first photographs to be part of the world of art were monochrome prints. The images were captured by large format cameras, developed into negatives and printed in the darkroom. The world of photography has come a long way since then with color dominating so much of what we shoot these days, and cameras now an integral part of our very portable phones.

Flora Fiction Literary Magazine Fall 2024

For Fall 2024, Flora Fiction brings you into the night, into the silence where shadows move, and something stirs just out of sight. "Whispers in the Dark" is a call to those who feel the pull of the unknown, who listen closely when others turn away. The stories waiting in the dark are the ones we don’t speak of in daylight, the ones that linger in our minds long after the light fades.
