Camera Club of the Philippines Presents Photo Exhibit at NYU

Celebrating its 80th anniversary, the Camera Club of the Philippines—the oldest in that country—will present an exhibition entitled “22/24—Dimensions of Hope” at NYU’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center.

The exhibition features 44 photographs, grouped in 22 pairs, suggesting the hopes and dreams of the island nation as seen through the lenses of Camera Club members.

The paired photographs can be seen as formal studies in light, color, and composition as tropes for the social condition; or as visual essays on the Philippines’ hybridized culture with its Spanish, American, and Asian-Pacific inflections. The exhibition is curated by Florina H. Capistrano-Baker from the Ayala Museum.

“22/24—Dimensions of Hope” is part of a series of special events at the King Juan Carlos Center on the Philippines, including a symposium and film screenings, to take place in April. The exhibit will be on display through May 15. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For further information, call 212-998-3650 or visit www.nyu.edu/kjc.
