Soho Photo Gallery - 50th Anniversary

I am so pleased and honored to be part of “Looking back: Soho Photo’s First 50 Years,” an exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Soho Photo Gallery. This gallery is an institution in New York. The adventure started in 1971 when photographers from the New York Times decided to create a space to show their personal work. 50 years later, this not-for-profit organization is still run by its artists-members. 

I have been a member two times: from 2006 to 2008 when I was still living in Paris and from 2012 to 2020 when I settled in New York in September 2010. After two years of completing my photography education at the International School of Photography (ICP) and at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), I rejoin the gallery where I found all these missing faces.

Soho Photo Gallery helped me grow as a photographer. I have been deeply inspired by the works shown in the International Alternative Process Competition which led me to give a new direction to my projects.

This exhibition is also an opportunity to show my work “Immigrant Song” with a new way of installing my quadriptychs. Displayed on their own board, each of my Immigrant Songs has its own space to leave which is a beautiful promise for uprooted people.
