This is an open call to celebrate Pride Moth and the LGBTQIA+ life and experience as seen through the eyes of the LGBTQIA+ photographers worldwide. The SE Center is looking for all forms of imagery and subject matter that support Pride Month and the LGBTQIA community, black-and-white and color, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome. Our juror for Art of Pride is Lissa Rivera. Rivera is a photographer and curator based in Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY. Rivera received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, where she became fascinated with the social history of photography and the evolution of identity, sexuality and gender in relation to material culture. Beautiful Boy, Rivera’s latest project, takes her interest in photography’s connection with identity to a personal level, focusing on her domestic partner as muse. 40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived.
