“A Moment Alone” from the series Trust Your Struggle  Copyright Qiana Mestrich 2010

I’m proud to announce the selection of two images from my 2010 series Trust Your Struggle, for inclusion in the upcoming group show The Photographic Self at Chicago’s Womanmade Gallery.

Juried by writer, editor and photographer Carla Williams, this is group show of photography and photo-based work depicting the “self”.

Included in the show is work by:

Grace Aneiza Ali, Kayla Anderson, Pilar Arthur-Snead, Jennie Barrese, Charmaine Bee, Nakeya Brown, Rashelle Brown, Lee Bullitt, Valerie Caesar, Ellen Cantor, Sonia Louise Davis, Nona Faustine, Sierra Faye, Jessica Van Fleteren, Shawné Michaelain Holloway, Jessica Hopkins, Janna Ireland, E.K. Jeong, Ellie Kingsbury, Zoraida Lopez, Kayla Massey, Marcia Michael, Johannil Napoleón, Niki Nolin, Glynnis Reed, Kristin Reeves, MahlOt Sansosa, Rafia Santana, Andi Schreiber, Pallavi Sharma, Amy Misurelli Sorensen, Tina Starr, Jennifer Tiner, Gwynneth VanLaven, Catherine Walker, Jennifer Weigel, Dana West, Morgan Ford Willingham

The Photographic Self will be on view September 6 – October 24, 2013. Stepping away from the traditional self portrait, the incredible works presented visually translate the meaning of “self” in a myriad of ways. If you can’t make it, check out a preview of the show online.
