The International Center of Photography’s 2017 exhibitions will explore the way photography impacts social change. To that end, Perpetual Revolution: Photography and Social Change, which opens January 27, is a five-part exhibition focusing on #BlackLivesMatter, gender fluidity, terrorist propaganda, the refugee crisis, and climate change, the theme tackled by visual artist and cultural organizer Rachel Schragis. Her large-scale composite, a detail of which is on our cover, visualizes the impact of the People’s Climate March in 2014.
Caption: Confronting the Climate: A Flowchart of the People’s Climate March (2014-16) by Rachel Schragis, featuring artworks by Crystal Clarity, Papel Machete and Agitarte; Rockaway Wildfire with Kalin Callaghan and Andrea Lomanto; Uprose and Ironbound Community Corporation with David Solnit; wth photography by Erik McGregor and many others.
