SUMMARY:Flashpoint! Reading Room at Printed Matter
DESCRIPTION:Printed Matter presents Flashpoint!\, a traveling reading room exhibition organized by 10×10 Photobooks dedicated to protest photography in print. The presentation brings together a selection of photobooks\, zines\, posters\, pamphlets\, independent journals\, and alternative newspapers from the 1950s to the present. Across these formats\, photography emerges as both a tool of protest and a cultural artifact of resistance\, capturing political struggles as they unfold and as they are later remembered. \n\n\n\nOn view March 12-May 31\, 2026. Opening reception March 12\, 6-8 pm \n\n\n\nRelated EventsProtest and Resistance PostersPanel Discussion at Printed MatterAdrian Franks\, Arthur Fournier and Daylon OrrThursday\, 2 April\, 6 pmDetails \n\n\n\nHistory Repeats Itself: Curating ProtestSponsored by the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art\, Prints and Photographs\, The New York Public LibraryPanel Discussion at The New York Public LibraryLa Tanya Autry and Maggie Mustard\, moderated by Deirdre DonohueWednesday\, 13 May\, 6 pm \n\n\n\nBy placing photobooks alongside posters\, DIY zines\, pamphlets\, and independent journals\, Flashpoint! highlights the manifold roles photography plays in resistance movements. Many featured works are a direct product of activist intervention\, while others are carefully constructed publications made retrospectively with the intention to contextualize a historical event. This diversity of works is reflected in their wide spectrum of aesthetic approaches\, which range from raw and immediate to deliberate and methodical. Presented together\, these materials prompt questions about how images circulate within movements\, how urgency shapes visual language\, and how protest is recorded (and reinterpreted) through print. \n\n\n\nThe Reading Room is structured thematically into seven broad sections: Anti\, Gender\, Displacement\, Race & Class\, Environment\, Political\, and War & Violence. Each features multiple sub-themes which document resistance related to anti-government\, anti-globalization\, women’s rights\, AIDS\, anti-apartheid\, civil rights\, anti-imperialism\, workers’ rights\, territorial disputes\, student protests\, national populism\, anti-colonialism\, revolution and gun violence\, among others. \n\n\n\nAuthors and artists with works in this iteration of the Flashpoint!

The evaluation of proposals will consider the importance of the proposed topic\, how significant and/or unknown is the subject\, and the strength of the proposed approach. \n\n\n\nThe Grant \n\n\n\n10×10 Photobooks will award three grants for this 5th cycle for 2026-2027 cycle in the amount of $2\,500 each\, which will be paid in two increments during the course of the project. \n\n\n\nGrantee Expectations \n\n\n\nGrantees are expected to present the result of their research in a 15 to 20-minute Zoom presentation along with an approximate 1500 word printed essay\, including illustrations and photographs. Final research needs to be in English and will be due within a year of the grant being awarded. \n\n\n\n10×10 will assist where able and desired with in-progress review\, identifying information\, making introductions\, etc. Please note that this grant is for research purposes and not for funding of the making of a photobook. \n\n\n\nApplication process \n\n\n\n\nApplicants must complete the grant form in English.  The application includes a description of the project (less than 1000 words) and a brief bio and must be submitted by midnight ET on 23 March 2026.  If there are multiple applicants on the proposal\, information on additional researchers may be included in the Notes field.\n\n\n\nThere is no fee for applying.\n\n\n\nGrant awards will be announced in May 2026\n\n\n\n\nProgram Rules \n\n\n\nGrantees retain all rights to their work and are free to submit or use the results of their research as they wish with other platforms and programs so long as they acknowledge that support for initial research was provided by 10×10.  10×10 has the right to share the results on their website and platforms. \n\n\n\nApplicants may submit multiple proposals\, and a single application may include multiple researchers (note that the grant amount is for the entire project\, not per researcher). \n\n\n\nThe program is open to anyone (researchers\, writers\, editors\, curators\, etc.) regardless of organizational affiliation\, academic status or discipline\, or nationality. \n\n\n\nApplicants should not have a pre-existing grant for the specific work being proposed.  Priority is given to new research (not currently funded).
