This retrospective features over seventy photographs—including many of Burtynsky’s landmark images, some never before exhibited—alongside three ultra high-resolution murals and a visual and narrative timeline of his creative life.

Join us for the opening of Sheida Soleimani: Panjereh, a powerful new exhibition at ICP that explores the intersections of memory, migration, and care through visually striking and deeply personal photographic work.Building on her acclaimed Ghostwriter series, Soleimani draws from her family’s experience fleeing Iran after the 1979 revolution to examine how histories—both personal and political—are shaped, remembered, and retold. In Panjereh, she expands her practice with new photographic compositions and the debut of never-before-seen close-up analogue portraits of injured migratory birds, created through her work as a federally licensed wildlife rehabilitator and founder of Congress of the Birds. These poetic images echo the fragile journeys of both birds and people forced to navigate borders, violence, and displacement.Presented alongside a site-specific wall drawing created for ICP’s galleries, Panjereh highlights the layered nature of resistance and compassion across generations.Don’t miss this bold and timely exhibition by an artist whose work expands the political and poetic potential of photographic storytelling.
