CALL FOR ARTISTS

2025 Juried Photography Show: Anaphora

Upstream Gallery, Hastings on Hudson NY

Entries are open now!

Anaphora: Repeated forms and configurations have been employed in art from ancient times.  We see this in art inspired by ancient architectural patterns all the way up to the development of serialization in mid-20th Century Op and Pop Art.   Repetition of patterns creates rhythms and fosters new ways of seeing or interpreting form.   Upstream Gallery encourages photographers to submit work exploring this idea.  The exhibition will open on Thursday, February 6th 2025 at our gallery in Hastings-on-Hudson NY.

Guest Juror: Karintha Lowe, PHD

An interdisciplinary scholar and curator, Lowe also holds a PhD in American Studies from Harvard University.  Her co-authored essay, "Urban Albums, Village Forms: Chinese Family Photographs and the Cold War," was recently published in Cold War Camera (Duke University Press).
