The Profound Duality of Being: بنات اليمن
Anysa Saleh’s photography challenges established methods around portraiture, but her practice is based largely around Yemeni cultural traditions, where it is taboo for women to be depicted photographically. In the bold black and white photographic series titled The Daughters of Yemen | بنات اليمن, Saleh explores a variety of profound dualities faced by Yemeni-Muslim women living in the United States.

The Internet is Exploding: 10 Must-Read Articles This Week 5/21/23
I LOVED the internet this week! Highlights: limerence, criticism, baseball caps, the WNBA and Brittney Griner, gambling, the extreme adventure industry, seeing 10,000 birds, free-living dogs in India, and orcas are sinking boats. Coined in 1979 by Dorothy Tennov, limerence “is a kind of lovesickness. Not passion, exactly, or heartbreak…...

The museum draws on a personal cultural perspective, displaying passion and pride for identity in family and homeplace, describing itself as, “Tola’s Room is an Interactive Puerto Rican Culture Museum.

Shifting Landscape: Lynn Cazabon and Andrea Sherrill Evans
How do two artists who study the urban landscape approach ecology? Lynn Cazabon and Andrea Sherrill Evans’ work doesn’t have much in common formally. Cazabon, the Director of the Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts at UMBC, works primarily in photography and new media. Evans, faculty in MICA’s Drawing department, is a draftsperson working in traditional materials.
Art AND: Joseph Hyde
Joe Hyde’s number has been stored in my phone with the company line description “Photographer, Wizard, Friend to All” since June 2015 when he saved me from the documentation disaster that was my MFA thesis show at MICA. Oddball lighting, work that spanned many textures and a gallery space where you could easily see other graduates’ solo shows poking around corners, left the first photographer I had hired completely lost in the sauce. I bought him a bottle of whiskey as payment for the unusable photos and emailed Joe.
