This exhibition, co-curated by Phoenix artist and photographer Claire A. Warden, features Arizona photographers with diverse backgrounds exploring their identity within the U.S. through thoughtful imagery. The artworks utilize unconventional techniques to address language and the self, translation, identity and portraiture. The exhibition is open to the public at the Civic Center Public Art Gallery, located inside Civic Center Library, and runs from July 24 -September 30.

A Meet the Artist closing reception for this exhibition is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 25 at 5 p.m. at Civic Center Library. The public is invited to meeting the artists during this reception and to participate in a hands-on workshop. The workshop will explore cyanotype painting, which is a 19th century UV process producing striking blue images with no camera needed. Participants can create a unique indoor “sun print” that can be taken home.
