Film Screening - Gioncarlo Valentine: Exposures

Following the screening, Valentine will be joined in conversation by writer Casey Gerald.About the FilmIn Exposures, Gioncarlo Valentine’s lush and tender photography is on full display. For his work as a queer Black photographer from Baltimore, he has dedicated his career towards creating an archive of everyday moments to honor the beauty of his community. But as his profile as a photographer grows, he reckons with the increased visibility and what it means for the work he creates. This film was commissioned by the "In the Making" Series –– a documentary shorts series from American Masters and Firelight Media –– which follows emerging cultural icons on their journeys to becoming masters of their artistic disciplines.Runtime: 18 min.About the SpeakersGioncarlo Valentine (b. 1990) is an award-winning American photographer and writer from Baltimore City.

Fall 2025 Exhibitions Tour
This event is free with museum admission.Join us for a guided walking tour of the exhibitions Graciela Iturbide: Serious Play, Naima Green: Instead, I spin fantasies, and Sergio Larrain: Wanderings, led by a museum educator. About the ExhibitionsGraciela Iturbide: Serious PlayThe first ever retrospective of Iturbide’s work in New York City. This landmark exhibition, organized in collaboration with Fundación MAPFRE and curated by Carlos Gollonet, Chief Curator of Photography at Fundación MAPFRE, features nearly 200 photographs spanning five decades of her groundbreaking career.Iturbide learned photography under renowned Mexican modernist Manuel Álvarez Bravo. Throughout her career, Iturbide traveled extensively throughout Mexico–and beyond–turning her attention to communal life, indigenous communities, and the interactions between nature and culture.Naima Green: Instead, I spin fantasiesThe exhibition grapples with the concept of pregnancy through constructed self-portraits, landscapes and still-lifes—blurring the line between documentary and performance. Green probes the conventional expectations and representational tropes of motherhood, while also creating an expanded space for considering the experience of pregnancy in America.Curated by Guest Curator Elisabeth Sherman, Instead, I spin fantasies brings together dozens of new works, including photographs printed using the historical technologies of albumen and lumen printing processes, along with a site-specific vinyl installation that utilizes the architecture of ICP’s third floor galleries.Sergio Larrain: WanderingsAn exhibition consisting of prints drawn entirely from the Magnum Photos archive. Curated by Agnès Sire, former Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris, the exhibition primarily highlights the work Larrain made during the first twenty years of his career, in cities such as Valparaíso, Santiago, Paris and London.Wanderings provides a new perspective on Larrain’s inventive and humanist photography that for decades has remained little seen and seldom exhibited, looking at both the material and spiritual drama of rural and urban life while also charting the subtle evolution of Larrain’s style.
