-France Leclerc, The Streets of the World 

I am a street and documentary photographer from Québec, Canada, living in Chicago.  I have always been fascinated by the “world” and curious about its diversity, challenges, and the resilience of human beings.  In this series, my goal is to capture beautiful moments showing how people live, eat, dress, interact, celebrate, pray, love… and the “streets” provide countless opportunities to find these moments.

-Jenna Mulhall-Brereton, Sacred/Sagrado: Festivals of Mexico

Since 2011, Jenna Mulhall-Brereton has traveled to various communities to witness and document traditions that are part of the fabric of Mexican culture. The term “sacred” invokes two distinct definitions: that which is holy and that which is a cherished part of the life of a community. Though all the festivals photographed tie back in some way to the religious calendar (Mardi Gras, after all, is the day before Lent), only about half of them celebrate the deeply held beliefs of the Catholic faith. Other images portray a profound sense of tradition, identity, and community that is every bit as intensely felt.

-National Jury Photography Exhibit, A journey Through Moments, Memories and Change

 -Reception, Saturday August 9, 2025 7 PM to 9 PM

Theme: Time — A Journey Through Moments, Memories, and Change From fleeting instants to the perpetual flow of the years, Time is an elusive yet powerful concept. It dictates our daily rhythms, ages our bodies, and leaves marks on both the world and our minds. It is ever-changing, never static. We invite you to submit your interpretation of Time in all its forms — whether it’s capturing a single moment that tells a lifetime’s story, a scene that evokes nostalgia or contemplation, or an abstract exploration of the passage of days. We encourage submissions that explore Time in any of its complex dimensions: personal, historical, emotional, or conceptual. This is an opportunity to showcase how photography can freeze moments, convey the relentless march of time, or reflect on the cyclical nature of existence.

-Detroit Nocturne After Dark, Dave Jordano

Reception, Thursday September 4, 2025 6 PM to 8 PM

These photographs speak to that truth without casting an overly sentimental gaze.  I’ve chosen to make these images at night not only to put more emphasis on their locale by presenting them in an unfamiliar light, but also to introduce a moment of quiet and calm reflection.  Pieces of the past, present, and future are rendered here to carefully consider.  They are after all the physical evidence of where we have carved out our collective ambitions and lived out our dreams.

-When The Smoke Clears, Svet Jacqueline

Reception, Thursday September 4, 2025, 6 PM to 8 PM

This body of work represents what Ukrainians are dying to protect- the juxtaposition of calmness that echoes the darkest reality of conflict. It's over three years of grief, everyday moments, and a collective fight for freedom."

-Antoine Le Grand, Hard To Track, Portraits

Reception, Thursday October 2, 2025, 6 PM to 8 PM

I search for the unpredictable, for balance and imbalance. Everything is musical and varies according to vibrations and silences. With intense concentration, one must be able to transform, to understand, to guess and possess the art of communication. The portrait is a question mark, placed on a person. In this spirit, I never try to pierce the mystery but to highlight it. I like to reveal a certain absence in the presence, an amused and elegant silence. With a portrait, the difference lies in the quality of presence of the person before me, “Contained energy”. Whilst nothing happens, a strangeness emanates that is both worrying and soothing. To photograph is to write with light until it’s interiorized. Lighting is inmate. For my portraits of famous people, they are all strangers to begin with; I know them only through their work. During all these meetings, I must not be encumbered with apprehensions, concepts, and preconceptions. I must be present to capture the moment the mask falls, when the person reveals themselves, and have the feeling of existing for the first time. I must be in control but not let it show. This method allows me to work as if each portrait I take is the first. I want to be surprised by my work. Photography is to create through instinct.

Four years documenting the South Sudan floods For four years, relentless flooding has devastated South Sudan, displacing entire communities and leaving many with little hope of return. As the world’s youngest country—gaining independence in 2011—South Sudan faces immense challenges in its struggle to recover from conflict while also battling the growing climate crisis. Some experts fear this could become the first case of permanent mass displacement due to climate change. In 2024, the crisis continued, with 1.4 million people affected across 43 counties. The impact is severe—over eight million people face hunger and acute food insecurity, more than half the country’s population. Farmland lies submerged, crops are destroyed, and remote communities, such as those in Old Fangak, now rely on wild foods like water lilies for survival.

With no signs of the waters receding, the struggle for survival persists. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that South Sudan’s floods will only worsen as global temperatures rise. Solutions remain elusive in a nation where conflict weakens infrastructure and response efforts.
