What Came Before
What Came Before is an open call exhibition where nascent artists in the Cincinnati area feature photographs that capture their origin stories. In examining what forces shape their personal development, selected photographers demonstrate the ebb and flow of cause and effect. Glimpses of the past provide insight into the present, illustrating the nebulous notion of “self,” which is constantly being constructed, deconstructed, and then reconstructed. What Came Before is designed to facilitate collaboration between young creatives in the Cincinnati area.
Artists: Chase Beckett, Teresa Burkey, Nick Greiber, Cooper Kadish, Esra Kanisicak, Paloma Roca-Rey Leguia, Griffin Miller, Roan Regnier, Jake Ruffer, Andruw Sanders, Lamberto Vargas, SJ Wohleber, and more
Curator: Sharee Allen, Adjunct Professor of Photography
