The Gallery at Heimbold Visual Arts Center, Sarah Lawrence College is excited to announce the opening of In the Room, a group exhibition featuring four contemporary photographers: Kelly Kristin Jones, Jonathan Mark Jackson, Ashley M. Freeby, and Allie Tsubota. Through still photography, archival research, and family histories, these four artists explore the relationships between personal and collective memories, and in particular how public histories are made, challenged, and remade. Organized by Kingston-based writer and curator Frances Cathryn, the exhibition opens on January 22, 2025, on the main floor of College’s art center, home of the Visual and Studio Arts, Art History, Film History and Filmmaking Moving Image Arts programs. The exhibit will close on February 25, 2025.In the Room is funded by Sarah Lawrence College and a grant from the Mellon Foundation, and the exhibit originated at the Center for Photography at Woodstock.
