SUMMARY:New England Portfolio Reviews | NEPR
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a weekend on connection\, creativity and education
  September 27th / 28th\, 2025 at the New England Portfolio Reviews
  (NEPR) for portfolio reviews with curators\, gallerists\, museum\,
  book and editorial professionals in the field of photography. The
  Griffin Museum of Photography is bringing you two days of portfolio
  reviews this fall.Since 2009 NEPR has been produced by the Griffin
  Museum with the mission of bringing reviewers and photographers
  together from New England and beyond for two days of discussion\,
  networking\, and gaining fresh perspective on one's work. NEPR serves
  photographers who are just embarking on their careers\, and more
  established photographers\, all hoping to reach new audiences and gain
  fresh perspective on their work. The online format allows for an
  expansion of participants in volume and in location including
  reviewers such as gallerists\, book publishers\, museum
  professionals\, critics\, educators and advisors from all over the
  world who provide guidance and potential opportunities to grow artist
  practices. 
 
 The September 26th Keynote Speaker is Annu Palakunnathu Matthew\, is a
  Professor of Art at the University of Rhode Island. She was also the
  Director of the Center for the Humanities from 2014-2019 and the
  2015-17 Silvia Chandley Professor in Peace Studies and Non-violence.
  Her photo-based work draws on old photographs to re-examine historical
  narratives in the US and South Asia. Though trained as a
  photographer\, her work increasingly uses the ever expanding digital
  toolbox and has moved into installations. The result is a blend of
  still and moving imagery that shifts the viewer's perspective to
  question established and marginalized histories.
