Join ICP online for a conversation between artists and educators Jon Henry and Zora J Murff around Henry’s exhibition Stranger Fruit, on view through January 12.This discussion will take place online via Zoom. After registering for this event, you will be sent a Zoom link in advance of the talk to view the conversation. About the ExhibitionJon Henry’s Stranger Fruit is a response to the epidemic of police killings of Black men—his answer to the question “Who is next? Me? My brother? My friends? How do we protect these men?”For several years, Henry traveled around the United States photographing Black mothers holding their sons in poses reminiscent of Renaissance paintings of the Virgin Mary cradling Jesus following the crucifixion, as well as the mothers alone.The project also includes writing by the mothers expressing their understanding that while they have not lost their sons, it is an ever-present possibility. Portrayed alone, the portraits reflect that potential absence and how, as Henry puts it, when “the protesters have gone home and the news cameras gone, it is the mother left. Left to mourn, to survive.”Stranger Fruit was published as a book in 2022 and has been previously exhibited, but for this installation Henry went back into his archives, pulling together documents, maps, and other ephemera that trace the creation of the project. A generous act of transparency, this presentation allows visitors to see the creative and administrative work that goes into developing a long-term project. About the ArtistsJon Henry is a visual artist working with photography and text, from Queens NY (resides in Brooklyn). His work reflects on family, sociopolitical issues, grief, trauma and healing within the African American community. His work has been published both nationally and internationally and exhibited in numerous galleries including Aperture Foundation, Smack Mellon, and BRIC among others. Known foremost for the cultural activism in his work, his projects include studies of athletes from different sports and their representations.He was recently named one of The 30 New and Emerging Photographers for 2022, TIME Magazine NEXT100 for 2021. Included in the Inaugural 2021 Silver List. He recently was awarded the Arnold Newman Grant for New Directions in Photographic Portraiture in 2020, an En Foco Fellow, one of LensCulture's Emerging Artists and has also won the Film Photo Prize for Continuing Film Project sponsored by Kodak.He currently serves as a faculty member at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. Zora J Murff is an artist and educator based in Oregon. Other facts about him include: he practices art to support consciousness-raising and to engage in intellectual struggle. The industry compatible objects he makes often–but not always–relate to the violent paradoxes and perils created by an imperial paradigm. The most influential book he read last year was Joy James’ In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love. An exhibition of his industry compatible objects, RACE/HUSTLE, was curated by his friend and accomplice, Terence Washington. The show is on display at MASS MoCA and runs through November 2026.

Green probes the conventional expectations and representational tropes of motherhood, while also creating an expanded space for considering the experience of pregnancy in America.Curated by Guest Curator Elisabeth Sherman, Instead, I spin fantasies brings together dozens of new works, including photographs printed using the historical technologies of albumen and lumen printing processes, along with a site-specific vinyl installation that utilizes the architecture of ICP’s third floor galleries.Sergio Larrain: WanderingsAn exhibition consisting of prints drawn entirely from the Magnum Photos archive. Curated by Agnès Sire, former Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris, the exhibition primarily highlights the work Larrain made during the first twenty years of his career, in cities such as Valparaíso, Santiago, Paris and London.Wanderings provides a new perspective on Larrain’s inventive and humanist photography that for decades has remained little seen and seldom exhibited, looking at both the material and spiritual drama of rural and urban life while also charting the subtle evolution of Larrain’s style.
