Our Mission:

The graduate photography studio at the University of Texas in San Antonio is curating ISTORIA: Exploration in Contemporary Narrative as part of Fotoseptiembre and  The Society of Photographic Education South Central Regional Conference in September - October 2011. The exhibition will showcase the various styles characterizing contemporary narrative photography. As narrative photography moves the image beyond a simple representation, the works will serve as interpretations of modern allegory while acting as vehicles for visual communication. We would like to engage the community in a conversation about the medium of photography and expose the viewers to a range of media including traditional and alternative processes, photogravure, digital photography, video art, and still-image animation (to name a few), all of which intersect with contemporary art and educational practices.
