Stories They Tell
The Photographer's Eye Gallery and Collective in Escondido announces the opening of Stories They Tell, an exhibition of photography by Melinda Finn and videos by Amanda Dahlgren. Finn's newest work, Minding Hope, explores the ways in which individuals face challenges with resilience and courage. Finn’s second body of work, Transitions, are portraits of people going through significant passages in their lives. In both bodies of work, each image is accompanied by the subject’s story. Dahlgren’s project, Allegiance, is a series of interviews on video of immigrants from all walks of life. Dahlgren digs deep into the idea of what it means to be an American. The Pledge of Allegiance is recited and discussed by interviewees. As an immigrant herself, It is Dahlgren’s hope that a dialog is opened about what we value as a society through ideas of patriotism, allegiance and immigration. This exhibition is available by private tours with Director, Donna Cosentino until the gallery regains its regular open hours when released by local officials. We will also have virtual tours online after May 14th. [email protected]
