Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art

June 3, 2022–January 22, 2023

As part of FotoFocus biennial, CMA presents I Hear America Singing: Contemporary Photography from America at the Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art. Encompassing more than 100 photographic projects at participating venues across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Dayton, and Columbus, the 2022 FotoFocus biennial is presented under the theme of World Record. The theme considers photography’s extensive record of life on earth, humankind’s impact on the natural world, and the choices we now face as a global community.

Curated by Ashley Lumb, I Hear America Singing was originally conceived for the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman, Jordan, where it was presented in 2021. Using a variety of formats and approaches, the fifteen photographers in this exhibition challenge the monolithic concept of American identity to highlight the diversity of lived experiences in the United States.

Featured artists in I Hear America Singing: Contemporary Photography from America include Matthew Brandt, Mercedes Dorame, Lucas Foglia, Wen-Hang Lin, Michael Lundgren, Alex Maclean, Griselda San Martin, Pamela Pecchio, David Benjamin Sherry, For Freedoms, Greg Stimac, Millee Tibbs, Wendel White, and William Wilson.
