Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures. — Don McCullin
How do you capture a vibration? The continual resonance of events of the last two years is felt in ways that are subtle, not always seen. For the silver anniversary of Photographic Center Northwest’s (PCNW) juried exhibition, we will exhibit work from 40 selected artists that reflect the reverberations that have had such a dramatic effect on our lives, culture, and politics. This year’s esteemed jurors are Jennifer L. Stoots, certified photography appraiser and photo historian; and Liza Faktor, curator and creative producer.

Moya Ridna: a fundraising exhibition and print sale for Ukraine
May 16 – 29, 2022
Reception: Thursday, May 19, 6-8pm
Moya Ridna (Ukrainian for “my darling”, “my special one”) is a fundraising exhibition and print sale showcasing photographs and paintings by 17 artists from Ukraine. The people behind these works either remain in Ukraine or have been forced out by the ongoing war perpetrated by the Russian government.
In moments of despair, we turn to the past. It is hard to break away from the familiar settings: intuitively, we continue to navigate our world as if the war has not terminated the very possibility of planning. The present works are the frozen artifacts from the time before the war on which we still unconsciously rely.
When our homeland is associated with images of destruction and tragedy, we deliberately choose to omit such representation: here, none of the works addresses the present conflict directly. War is inexpressible: it depersonalizes every individual experience, it disrupts every fragment of memory that we deem inviolable. These works, conversely, are the radical expression of individual experience. This exhibition is an attempt to carry these experiences with us through the tragedy of the present.
We are looking at the future, where the congealed moments of the past guide us in recreating the image of a peaceful Ukraine. We whisper her while she is aching; we address her “moya
ridna” (my darling), “moya ridna” (my darling)…
Улиці
Улиці залюднені, трамваї стрійні,
З очей таємних шовкові нитки
Снуються в душу, де плями мрійні,
Де тепло гріють зустрічні думки.
The streets*
The streets are crowded, the trams are slender,
From secret eyes the silky threads
Scurry into the soul, where spots are dreamy,
Where the counter-thoughts warm.
Written by Mykhaylo Semenko. In 1937 he was executed by Soviet secret police for allegedly being an active member of Ukrainian national-fascist terrorist organization. It was later revealed that the organization never existed; Semenko was posthumously rehabilitated in 1957.
All proceeds go to humanitarian aid and to support the artists who remain in Ukraine at the moment.

Macsen Baumann
$135
This is a one-day workshop designed for beginners in the black and white darkroom, but it can also serve as a refresher for anyone who is rekindling a relationship with the darkroom. Bring negatives that you’ve processed (or had processed through a lab) and come explore the fun part: making prints! We’ll cover everything from the basic printing steps, to more advanced printing techniques like dodging, burning, and using filters. Most importantly you’ll have a chance to print in the black and white darkroom alongside a seasoned pro who can lend personalized advice – every print is different, and requires special attention! You can become a better darkroom printer in hours with the assistance and feedback of one of our instructors.
Topics covered include:
Printing and evaluating a contact sheet
Creating the best possible print from a negative, with correct exposure, contrast, and tone
Using different filter techniques, like split filter printing
Localized exposure control through dodging and burning
Print evaluation techniques
Darkroom workflow
Printing in a community darkroom, and much more!
Take this workshop in tandem with our Black & White Film Photography Basics workshop for a perfect two–day introduction or refresher to the beauty of black and white photography.
NOTES
Students must bring black and white negatives that are processed and ready for printing, and a box or folder to take home completed prints
PCNW will provide black and white paper for darkroom printing during the workshop
