In Family Album, an intergenerational roster of artists examines the ways in which personal and collective histories are constructed through the visual language of family photographs. Addressing physical, political and emotional aspects of home, including segregation, displacement and belonging in today’s American neighborhoods, the artists draw directly from their personal archives in some instances, or in others reimagine the conventions of the family snapshot. Drawing on the power of photography, a medium closely tied to memory, to summon the textures of daily life and the presence of loved ones, "Family Album" is a meditation on how community is recalled, represented and reimagined. 

Artists in the exhibition include Laura Aguilar, Lyle Ashton Harris, Renee Cox, Delilah Montoya, Consuelo Kanaga, Max Yavno, Carlee Fernandez, Chino Otsuka, Anthony Hernandez, Sadie Barnette, Janna Ireland, Dannielle Bowman, Deborah Willis, Hank Willis Thomas, Tony Cokes, Star Montana, Micaiah Carter, Tyler Mitchell, Zora J Murff and Sandra de la Loza.
