Take It From Here features artworks by ten emerging photographers who use the camera as a multifaceted site of imagination, play, and self-exploration. Considering photography’s sordid relationship with the politics of representation, the selected artists collectively highlight new freedoms and visual possibilities of self-expression alive within the medium. Exhibiting artists include: Alec Kaus, Lindley Warren Mickunas, Elliott Jerome Brown Jr., Nadiya Nacorda, Pia Paulina Guilmoth, Tommy Kha, Kathryn Harrison, Widline Cadet, Jasmine Clarke, and Elizabeth Hibbard. The project was curated by Zora J Murff and Rana Young. The Take It From Here exhibition catalogue was designed, printed, and assembled by Travis Shaffer and published by his risograph imprint THERETHERENOW. The catalogue received a juror’s special mention at the 2021 Paris Photo Aperture Photobook Awards. The catalogue contains 32 loose 10”x12.5” pages wrapped in a a full-height belly band, printed in a limited run of 200 copies.
