Curate a Photography Exhibit


Introduction:


You are a curator at a gallery in New York City and you have been selected to curate a collection of photographs on the theme of power. Your job is to locate 15 - 20 photographs by a variety of photographers, and put them together in a photo essay.

The Task:


You will write:

1) an introductory essay on the meaning and representations of power (or your theme)
2) a caption for each of your photographs explaining why you included it
3) a closing essay on the process you went through to curate the exhibit and what you learned. Use the habits of mind as you write.
