Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print Reading Room at CPW Kingston
2025-05-24 08:00 - 2025-08-31 17:00 (America/New_York) | CPW Kingston, 25 Dederick Street, New York, 12401, United States
Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print, 1950–Present explores the diverse roles and varying aesthetics that photography in print undertakes in its support of protest and political resistance. The exhibition comprises photobooks, zines, reproductions of posters, pamphlets, independent journals and alternative newspapers from all over the world that address—and participate in—protest. Visitors will be able to peruse a hands-on reading room featuring many of the photobooks and zines included in the book titled Flashpoint!, edited by Russet Lederman and Olga Yatskevich (10×10 Photobooks, 2024). The works in the exhibition reflect the thematic structure of the original 10×10 book, organized into seven topics: Anti, Gender, Displacement, Race & Class, Environment, Political, and War & Violence.

Some of the questions prompted by this powerful collection of media include: Is protest photography a “tool” conceived through an “aesthetic of urgency” to be used during events as they unfold, as in an anonymously designed poster or ink-stained fliers plastered on street walls? How do we consider an elegantly designed photobook, published a year or more after an event, often with the help of well-known photographers, writers and designers, so as to document a past uprising? Whether outright rage or a more subtle artist-driven commentary, Flashpoint! covers all of these formats and sometimes transcends rigid media definitions, as it blurs the lines between what constitutes a book, zine, journal, poster or newspaper.

Calling all zine-makers!

Speak Up! Protest Zines as Resistance is a reading room of protest and resistance zines from the 10×10 Photobooks and CPW communities.

Hosted in association with the Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print Reading Room, this reading room features self-published zines contributed by artists and activists from around the world via an ongoing Open Call. Created outside traditional publishing systems and often using simple, accessible tools, the zines speak to protest not just in content, but in form. Raw, urgent, and deeply personal, they remind us that self-publishing can be an act of defiance—and that print remains a powerful medium for amplifying voices.

CPW, founded in 1977 as the Center for Photography at Woodstock, is dedicated to achieving social change via photography.

How We See What They Saw
2025-09-15 08:00 - 2025-11-21 17:00 | George Mason University, 4400 University Drive, Fairfax, Virginia, 22030, United States
A “Micro” Reading Room of Photobooks by Women at George Mason University. Inspired by 10×10 Photobooks’ How We See: Photobooks by Women (2017) and What They Saw: Historical Photobooks by Women, 1843-1999.

In 1843, the British botanist Anna Atkins published her photographs of algae, creating the first photographically illustrated book. Since then, women have continued to make significant and important contributions to the medium, but these works are often undervalued or unrecognized.

Inspired by the 10×10 Photobooks exhibitions and publications How We See: Photobooks by Women (2018) and What They Saw: Historical Photobooks by Women, 1843-1999 (2021), Fenwick Gallery will host a reading room showcasing photobooks by women and non-binary artists selected from the University Library’s collections.

Featuring self-published works from small presses to trade editions and exhibition catalogs from commercial publishers, How We See What They Saw includes over 80 photobooks and monographs, dating from 1843 to 2025, which highlight the dynamic contributions women around the world have made to photography and the photobook medium.

The How We See What They Saw micro-reading room draws from the holdings and special collections at the George Mason University Libraries and was realized at the university’s Fenwick Gallery by J Carrier, Stephanie H. Grimm, Donald H. Russell, Liz Louise Johnson, Michael McDermott, Jeffrey Kenney and Ben Bowen with thanks to: Zoë Charlton, Anne Osterman, Lynn Eaton and the staff of the Fenwick Library Access Services team.

2025-10-09 18:30 - 19:30 | Hirsch Library / Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet, Houston, Texas, 77005, United States
The Museum’s Hirsch Library brings together Danny Lyon and Russet Lederman to explore the impact that Lyon’s work has made on both our culture at large and the development of photobooks as a genre.

Danny Lyon is among the most influential documentary photographers of the past six decades. Known for his immersive approach, Lyon’s intensive investigations have resulted in numerous seminal photobooks on subjects as diverse as the Civil Rights Movement, a Chicago motorcycle club, the destruction of Lower Manhattan, Native American reservations, and the Texas prison system. Lyon is joined in this conversation by Russet Lederman, New York City-based writer, editor, photobook collector, and co-founder of 10×10 Photobooks. Lederman is co-coordinator of the Flashpoint! exhibition.

This conversation is offered in conjunction with the opening of Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print, 1950-Present, an exhibition and reading room that presents a global selection of photobooks, zines, posters, pamphlets, independent journals, and alternative newspapers addressing protest and resistance from the past 75 years.

A book signing and opening reception for the Flashpoint! exhibition follow in the Hirsch Library.

Please join 10×10 Photobooks and the Magnum Foundation for a salon with Isadora Romero and Sofía Granados Dyer on Wednesday, 18 February from 6 to 8 pm at the Magnum Foundation, 59 East 4th Street, 7th Floor, New York City

Isadora Romero (@isadoraromerophoto) is an Ecuadorian independent visual storyteller based in Quito. Her work moves between documentary and artistic photography, focusing on social justice, gender, environment, and agrobiodiversity in Latin America. She is co-founder of Ruda, a collective of Latin American women photographers. Her work has been exhibited across Latin America, Europe, and Africa. She has been awarded by C/O Berlin, Les Rencontres d’Arles, World Press Photo, and POY Latam, and has received fellowships from Magnum Foundation, Prince Claus Fund, National Geographic, and World Press Photo. She is the author of the photobook Un Movimiento para poder verte (Moving, to See You, 2025).

A living, though inexact, memory guides the steps of Isadora Romero P. in her search to uncover the family heritage that flows through her veins—one that also allows her to enter into a discussion as ancient as it is current: the loss of the cultural, ecological, and symbolic diversity of seeds as a consequence of capitalist modernity. Led by a luminous image—that of her great-great-grandmother Fulgencia Pisco—the photographer embarks on an inquiry into seeds as sources of life, resistance, and affective repair. Winner of the 2024 Nuevo Mariano Aguilera Award in the Publication category, Un Movimiento para poder verte (Moving, to See You. Severo Editorial, 2025) gathers a body of work that took more than six years to complete and spanned four countries (Paraguay, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico), where Isadora investigates the social and personal conflicts arising from the processes of loss and recovery of ancestral knowledge, as well as the tensions between intimate memory and global conservation policies.

Sofía Granados Dyer (@phtsdr_books) co-edits EBB, a bilingual Russian-English publication responding to fascism around the world. Drawing from the rich samizdat tradition, each book is made entirely by hand and distributed through grassroots networks. EBB is also a charity project with every cent going directly to victims of war, incarceration, and political violence. Apart from EBB, Granados Dyer directs public programming at picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom in NYC. In this role, she has interviewed photographers including Rahim Fortune, Matt Black, Yelena Yemchuk and Daniel Arnold.

Granados Dyer is excited to discuss EBB Issue 2 and Issue 3, both of which offer insight into censorship, moral clarity, and the limits of representation. EBB Issue 2: What Have We Done(2023) was created in direct response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The publication explores fascism, imperialism, and moral responsibility across media. EBB Issue 3: Strength of Materials (2025) takes its title from a branch of engineering developed by Ukrainian engineer Stepan Tymoshenko, which analyzes how much stress physical materials can sustain before collapsing. Released in the fall of 2025, the publication reflects on the perseverance of activism and artistic expression in the face of indefinitely prolonged political crises.

Granados Dyer will additionally share maquettes and photographs from work in progress. Among them is a photo project that deals with the violent history of crash test dummies, as well as an artist’s book exploring material and psychological deformity in connection to Christian liturgy.

History 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

By 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.

The 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.

Apply Here

10×10 Photobooks is pleased to announce a new grant cycle and call for applications as part of its annual photobook research grants program to encourage and support scholarship on under-explored topics in photobook history.

For this cycle, 10×10 is looking for submissions related to 10×10 Photobooks’ forthcoming publication on the history of photobooks from Africa and its diaspora. We invite proposals for photobook research on Black identity, Africa and the African diaspora. The concept of the photobook for your study can be interpreted in the broadest sense possible: classic bound books, portfolios, personal albums, unpublished books, zines, digital media, scrapbooks, posters, or other ephemera. 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.

The Grant

10×10 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.

Grantee Expectations

Grantees 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.

10×10 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.

Application process

Applicants 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.

There is no fee for applying.

Grant awards will be announced in May 2026

Program Rules

Grantees 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.

Applicants 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).

The program is open to anyone (researchers, writers, editors, curators, etc.) regardless of organizational affiliation, academic status or discipline, or nationality.

Applicants should not have a pre-existing grant for the specific work being proposed. Priority is given to new research (not currently funded). If there is existing support applicants should describe that support in the Notes field along with how the proposed research differs from that already funded.

10×10 Salon with Balarama Heller and Anita Goes
2026-04-09 18:00 - 20:00 | Art in Brackets, 46 Walker Street, New York, New York
Join us for the next 10×10 Salon with Balarama Heller and Anita Goes, organized in collaboration with Art in Brackets.

During the salon, guests will visit the Art in Brackets TriBeCa inaugural exhibition which explores the transatlantic artistic exchange between Africa and Brazil, highlighting Afro‑diasporic visual languages expressed through photography, painting, sculpture, textiles, and design.

Anita Goes (b. 1985) is a Brazilian photographer and curator based in New York, with over a decade of creative presence in the city. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Senac, The Brazilian School of Art and Photography, and pursued a diploma in Art History at the Museum of Modern Art São Paulo.

In 2017, Anita was invited to join the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst School of Fine Art in Leipzig, Germany, as a Resident Artist, where she lived and honed her craft for a year. In May 2024, she founded Art Dialogues Magazine, further solidifying her dedication to art and dialogue within the industry.

Art Dialogues Magazine, Issues #3

Art Dialogues is a magazine with the goal of expanding art dialogues between Brazil and the world. Goes has been living in New York for a decade, and despite being far from her homeland, she sought ways to remain connected to Brazil’s artistic production. This led to the idea of founding a magazine that focuses on artists, going beyond the final artwork. Through conversations, it explores the thoughts, inspirations, and creative processes of a diverse community of collaborators.

Balarama Heller (b. 1979, New York) is a New York City-based transmedium visual artist whose work explores the intersection of spirituality, myth, ritual, and science. Working between abstraction and representational spaces, Heller’s practice reimagines archetypal symbols, creating a visual language of preverbal awareness and photographic sublimation. Recent group exhibitions include Illuminations, curated by Dana Karwas at Yale University’s CCAM (2025), and Poetic Record, curated by Deana Lawson and Michael Famighetti at Princeton University (2024).

Balarama Heller, Sacred Place (TIS Books, 2025)

Balarama Heller’s Sacred Place was created in the predawn hours, when the veil between the spiritual and material realms is thinnest. It is a deeply personal yet universally resonant pilgrimage exploring faith, memory, and spiritual transformation. Born into the Hare Krishna movement in America, Balarama Heller grew up within a world of devotion, ritual, and upheaval—moving through communes, countercultures, and moments of both transcendence and disillusionment. Returning to Vrindavan, India, the heart of the religion, Heller, guided by Joseph Campbell’s idea that sacred places reveal “eternity shining through time,” crafts an alchemical tapestry of archetypes both ancient and new. Sacred Place sifts through the magnetism forged by millennia of pilgrims—Heller himself among them—seeking to touch the Infinite glimmering through the present.

Art in Brackets is a women‑owned cultural consultancy that connects artists, galleries, and institutions with the creative ecosystem of New York City. Founded in 2022 by Lu Solano and Maria Fernanda Mazzuco, the organization specializes in cultural translation, art advising, residencies, exhibition production, and public programs that foster community engagement and meaningful collaborations.
