Community members are invited to talk with the artists of the Blue-Eyed Knocker Photo Club at Argenta Branch Library while enjoying the exhibit during the next Argenta Third-Friday ArtWalk, from 5 to 8 p.m. on July 16. The exhibition continues in the library’s first-floor gallery with free admission 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays through Sept. 10.

A woman shows her large spider tattoo next to her baby bump; a small boy lounging on the back of a milk cow; and a girl in a white gown and graduation hat stands beneath a George Floyd graffiti painting: photographs in an upcoming exhibition at Argenta Branch Library feature the documentation of life from birth to death.

Inspired by the Museum of Modern Art’s Family of Man exhibition catalogue from 1955, which is the most commercially successful photobook ever published, members of the local Blue-Eyed Knocker group of photographers were motivated to assemble their best work documenting universal human conditions for the Humankind exhibit, according to Rita Henry, the group’s coordinator.

“Like the Family of Man, the pieces in Humankind span several decades with the majority of images produced in timeless black and white film and in the darkroom, similar to 1955 techniques along with digital images showing the color and shapes of 2021,” Henry said.

Like the original, Humankind includes a trio of writers, John Gibson, Penny Colglazier, and Susan Munden Allen, who offer their thoughts on the themes expressed in the photographs.

Photographers who contributed work to the show are: Adams Pryor, Adrienne Taylor, Brandon Markin, Casey Sanders, Cindy Adams, Darrell Adams, Gail Arnold, James Allen, Jon Hodges, Lily Ryall, Matt Weber, Nancy Nolan, Rachel Worthen, Rita Henry, Susan Crisp, and Vince Griffin.

This exhibit at the Windgate Gallery of the UA-Pulaski Tech Center for Humanities and Arts (CHARTS) will be on display until August 21.

The gallery is open Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

About Justice: Faces of the Human Rights Revolution

Why do some people look injustice squarely in the face while so many of us avert our gaze? Mariana Cook traveled the world from Johannesburg to Yangon to photograph and interview the prominent and little-known pioneers of the human rights movement who have risked their lives and livelihoods to pursue fairness and freedom. These 60 portraits are paired with short biographies and essays in the activists’ own words describing what compels them to fight.

The pioneers include judges, lawyers, and politicians, as well as sociologists, anthropologists, clergymen, physicians, and writers—the lawyer Teo Soh Lung defends the freedom of the press and legal profession in Singapore, while the forensic anthropologist Mimi Doretti unearths the remains of disappeared persons to prove that human rights abuses took place in Argentina. Each photograph is coupled with a short biography and an essay describing in the activists’ own words what compels them to fight.

Mariana Cook is the last protégée of Ansel Adams. Her masterful portraits of people both in and out of the public eye have been widely published and exhibited. Her works are held in numerous institutional and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Getty Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The exhibit is presented by art2art Travelling Exhibitions.
