Tickets were free to this event, thanks to the generous support of 4Culture and Seattle Office of Arts & Culture

Join us for a public lecture with acclaimed photographic artist Abelardo Morell. Morell’s pictures transform and transcend the ordinary and every day. He was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition, ‘The Universe Next Door,’ at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and the High Museum in Atlanta; he is represented by Edwynn Houk Gallery in New York. Morell’s work is featured in the exhibition Notions of Home.

Notions of Home speaks to the complex realities of what home means for each individual, within our city, and in America today. “Home” encompasses a sense of identity that could be formed by blood, tribe, race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, or statehood; a geographic environment; a physical structure; our planet, and so much more. As many in our city face a scarcity of affordable living, or a change in paperwork and policies affecting their ability to call a place home, we look to photography to do what it does best: engage, reveal, provoke, and elucidate various viewpoints on this topic.

Featured Notions of Home artists include:
Corey Arnold, Will Austin, Tim Barney, Zack Bent, Erin Elyse Burns, Elinor Carruci, Adrain Chesser, Neil Chowdury, Annabel Clark, Elliott Erwitt, Joe Freeman, Paulo Gonzales, Cian Hayes, Daniel Hawkins, Thomas Holton, Eirik Johnson, Hiroyo Kaneko, Lisa Kereszi, Natalie Krick, Harini Krishnamurthy, Chris Letcher, Emily Hanako Momohara, Annie Marie Musselman, Canh Nguyen, Anna Ream, Jenny Riffle, Serrah Russell, Ross Sawyers, Rafael Soldi, María Sprowls, Eva Sköld Westerlind, and others.
