Houston Center for Photography's 43rd Center Annual

The Center Annual is Houston Center for Photography’s yearly group exhibition that seeks to highlight and provide insight into current themes, technologies, and practices in photography. The guest juror this year is Asha Iman Veal.

The show features a diverse array of works from members of our global photography community and is selected by a leading curator, editor, or artist. This annual exhibition opens our galleries to photographers from anywhere in the world, whether emerging, mid-career, or established, and as such, aims to provide viewers with critical insight into our current moment—both within the field of photography and within society at large. Of those selected, two artists are chosen to receive the HCP Juried Membership Honoraria of $500 each.

Asha Iman Veal is this year's juror and a curator for globally collaborative exhibitions of contemporary art, focused on conceptual photography and moving-image, cross-diasporic themes, and intercultural dialogues through methodologies of art education. Veal is a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She lives and works between Paris, France and Chicago, Illinois.
