Ruth Orkin: Women on the Move
Few photographers shaped the visual language of the mid-20th century with the clarity, empathy, and narrative force of Ruth Orkin.

Ruth Orkin: Women on the Move, on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts from December 12, 2025, through March 29, 2026, revisits this legacy through 21 iconic and intimate photographs made between the 1950s and 1970s.

All About Photo Presents ’When The Pavement Breathes’ by Margarita Mavromichalis
When The Pavement Breathes is a vivid exploration of those fleeting, often overlooked moments that quietly transform the mundane into the extraordinary. Through spontaneous and candid encounters, Margarita Mavromichalis reveals a street world alive with subtle disruptions—unexpected juxtapositions, fleeting expressions, visual coincidences, and delicate details that momentarily suspend routine perception. In her images, the street is not merely a backdrop for daily life but a living, breathing stage where the ordinary continuously flirts with surprise.
The Gordon Parks Foundation Celebrates 20 Years
The Gordon Parks Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a yearlong series of exhibitions, publications, fellowships and events, all of which will highlight how the legacy of Gordon Parks (1912–2006) continues to inform contemporary artistic practice in new and innovative ways. Since its founding in 2006 to steward Parks’ multifaceted work as a photographer, musician, writer and filmmaker, the Foundation has steadily grown and expanded its capacity to provide crucial support to emerging, mid-career and late-career artists across a wide variety of disciplines. This focus on interdisciplinarity is at the heart of both the Foundation and the legacy of Parks himself, who believed unreservedly in the power of art to be a catalyst for social change and to illuminate the human condition.

Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation
The International Center of Photography (ICP) is proud to present Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation, an exhibition that examines how Eugène Atget (1857–1927) came to be regarded as one of the forefathers of modern photography through the timely and tireless advocacy of Berenice Abbott. Featuring historic prints from ICP’s collection alongside landmark publications and other printed ephemera, the exhibition reconsiders the role that Abbott played in establishing Atget’s now-canonical status, sometimes to the detriment of her own remarkable career as a photographer. Though Atget didn’t live to see it, Abbott became the ideal steward, proving that every photographer needs a champion.

Through landscape photography that bridges history, culture, and human presence, Zhang Kechun examines the complex relationship between desolation, memory, and modern life in this vast and evolving terrain.
