© Jennifer Murray, Things I Keep: My Hair series
Analog Forever Magazine is proud to present “(Re)Collections," an online group exhibition debuting June 2023. This showcase will be expertly curated by artist, educator, and executive director of Filter Photo, Jennifer Murray!
To enter, all you need to do is read and respond to the prompt provided with your film or analog photography. The best of these images will be presented in an online show, launching June 19th, 2023. Good luck!
Prompt:
As makers, we are often inspired by archives, collections, and the objects we can’t seem to part with. They’ve left an indelible mark on our histories. Some of our earliest memories are reinforced through photographs — family and community narratives that get retold over and over. Beyond the nostalgia of family albums and beloved objects, collections inspire us and form the foundations of a photographic practice through the books that we read, archives we research, and stories that we tell through images. From family photographs and beloved heirlooms to community and library archives, how do we respond to these collections? This prompt asks, what do we collect and why?
Deadline for Submissions is May 31st, 2023!
