 About the artists:
 
 Craig Easton's work is deeply rooted in the documentary tradition. He
  shoots long-term documentary projects exploring issues around social
  policy\, identity\, culture and community. Known for his intimate
  portraits and expansive landscape\, his work regularly combines these
  elements with reportage approaches to storytelling\, often working
  collaboratively with others to incorporate words\, pictures and audio
  in a research-based practice that weaves a narrative between
  contemporary experience and history. 
 
 In 2021\, Easton was awarded the prestigious title of Photographer of
  the Year at the SONY World Photography Awards and in 2022 was
  recognised with an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic
  Society. His prints are widely collected by private individuals &
  corporations and are held in important museum collections and archives
  including the FC Barcelona Collection\, the St. Andrews University
  Special Collections\, Hull Maritime Museum and Salford University Art
  Collection. Easton is a regular visiting lecturer at universities and
  runs workshops both in the UK and internationally. 
 
 Drew Leventhal (b. 1995) is a photographer from the United States. His
  practice is informed by his upbringing and training in anthropology.
  Through photography\, Drew sees the possibility for connection and
  mutual understanding. Each image becomes an ongoing dialogue and
  search for meaning. Through investigations of ritual\, colonial
  history\, and the delineations of landscape\, Drew is interested in
  what it means to be human.Drew received a BFA in Anthropology from
  Vassar College and received an MFA in Photography from the Rhode
  Island School of Design. He has shown work at galleries and museums
  across the United States. He has been a finalist for the Aperture
  Portfolio Prize\, the Film Photo Award\, and the PhMuseum Grant. Drew

  Geographic Young Explorer. He is currently a 2025-2026 Fulbright
  scholar in Ireland. 
 
 Lisa Elmaleh (b. 1984\, Miami\, Florida) is a photographer\,
  activist\, and humanitarian. She specializes in large-format work in
  tintype\, glass negative\, and celluloid film. Her most recent body of
  work\, Promised Land/Tierra Prometida\, focuses on migration at the
  border of the United States and Mexico\, and since 2020\, she has been
  immersed in the migrant justice community there. Elmaleh's images have
  been exhibited internationally. Her work has been exhibited nationwide
  and recognized by the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Arnold Newman
  Prize\, and the Aaron Siskind Foundation\, among others. Elmaleh
  resides in Paw Paw\, West Virginia\, in a primitive cabin. 
 
 Richard Frishman's photographs explore how the built environment
  reveals our cultural priorities and prejudices. In 2021 Frishman was
  awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for photography. His winning
  documentary project\, Ghosts of Segregation\, was published in 2024 by
  Celadon/Macmillan. The traveling exhibition of Ghosts of Segregation
  is currently touring the United States and Europe. 
 
 Frishman's photography is included in a wide range of collections\,
  including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, the New Orleans Museum of

  and social issues.
