Through These Realities
Opening Reception: May 2, 2023, 6 PM

SCAT Gallery, Somerville Media Center

Curated by award-winning photographer Joshua Sariñana, Through These Realities is a powerful photography and poetry exhibition that challenges the dominant narratives perpetuated by mass media. This collaborative project brings together the voices and visions of six photographers of color—Adam Cordelle, Andrew Harris, Kenia Arbaiza, Wandy Pascoal, Xudong Liu, and Paul Sayed—paired with the evocative words of six poets of color—Kesper Wang, Isabella De Palo Garcia Perez, Durane West, Alysia Williams, Mayank Chugh, and Cesar Sanchez Beras.

Through the interplay of images and poetry, the exhibition highlights the lived experiences of marginalized communities, affirming their realities and perspectives. By dismantling monolithic portrayals, Through These Realities creates a space for authentic storytelling, collective empowerment, and artistic resonance.
