Take It From Here features artworks by ten emerging photographers who use the camera as a multifaceted site of imagination, play, and self-exploration. Considering photography’s sordid relationship with the politics of representation, the selected artists collectively highlight new freedoms and visual possibilities of self-expression alive within the medium.
The Take It From Here exhibition catalogue was Designed, Printed, and Assembled by Travis Shaffer and published by theretherenow. The book was the Juror’s Special Mention at the 2021 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards. The catalog contains 32 loose 10” x 12.5” pages collected wrapped in a full-height belly band and risograph printed in a limited run of 200 copies in lake, sunflower, and fluorescent pink ink on grey paper.
