This summer, Park Avenue Armory and LUMA co-present the North American premiere of Constellation, the most comprehensive presentation of work by revolutionary photographer Diane Arbus to date. Bringing together more than 450 prints, many of them still unpublished, the exhibition offers new perspectives on Arbus’s iconic images and the breadth of humanity captured through her lens.

Growing Up Travelling by Jamie Johnson
I have spent my entire career photographing children all over the world. The last several years I have focused my eyes on the Irish Traveller that live in caravans on the side of the road or in open fields throughout Ireland. The Traveller community are an Irish nomadic indigenous ethnic minority. There is no recorded date as to when Travellers first came to Ireland. This is lost to history, but Travellers have been recorded to exist in Ireland as far back as history is recorded. Even with their great history they live as outsiders to society and face unbelievable racism growing up. As a mother of two daughters, I became so interested in the culture and traditions and lives of these children. I have spent many years traveling back and forth to Ireland to document these incredible children.
