Photographs by 35 Los Angeles-based artists<\/a><\/strong> challenge ideals of beauty, representation, cultural capital, and objectivity.<\/p>\n The artists in this exhibition, primarily people of color, have radically transformed photography to express their own aesthetics, identities, and narratives.<\/p>\n Their work is foundational for an emerging generation of artists participating in the Getty Unshuttered program<\/a><\/strong>, which engages teens to seek photography as a platform to amplify social topics that resonate in their own lives. Guest curated by jill moniz<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Todd Gray<\/strong>‘s early work casting Muhammad Ali<\/strong> as a larger than life social justice warrior; Harry Gamboa, Jr.<\/strong>‘s cheeky and utterly original unconventional and exuberant neighborhood self-portrait; Andrea Chung<\/strong>‘s poetic and materially rich meditation on the oceanic subconscious and the plural significances of trans-Atlantic trade in American history; April Banks<\/strong>‘s psychologically charged constructions of identity in race and gender; Texas Isaiah’<\/strong>s assertive yet gentle recentering of the body in this conversation; and Toyo Miyatake<\/strong>‘s image from Manzanar showing the resilience of the human spirit among the ruins of a violently vindictive and failed social policy \u2013 these are just some of the most impactful works included.<\/p>\n
