A few weeks ago, I posted about the Sight Unseen exhibition of blind photographers. University of California at Riverside and the California Museum of Photography are hosting this first international show of blind photographers. The good press keeps coming. NPR’s new photojournalism blog, The Picture Show, has featured the exhibit in a recent post.
How can someone be a blind photographer? Or rather, why would someone want to be? A new exhibit on display at the University of California Riverside/California Museum of Photography explores these questions, through art created by some of the world’s most renowned blind photographers. Evgen Bavcar, one of the featured artists in the Sight Unseen exhibit, says, “My images are fragile; I’ve never seen them, but I know they exist, and some of them have touched me deeply.”
I talked with exhibit curator, Douglas McCulloh, a few weeks ago about the exhibit. I will have more on that interview soon.
