New Voices: On Transformation is the inaugural exhibition of Print Center New York’s new open call program, New Voices, providing eight artists with a focused group exhibition and professional development opportunities. This exhibition will provide a critical exploration of work by Aaron Coleman, Julia Curran, Juana Estrada Hernández, Lois Harada, Nina Jordan, Farah Mohammad, Jacquelyn Strycker, and Eriko Tsogo, accompanied by a publication and a series of artist-led public programming.

For the pilot year of New Voices, Hermo encouraged applicants to consider their work in terms of transformation. This could reference a perspective or expectation, a social or political reality, a traditional process or medium, or knowledge of the self, encouraging an open-ended reading.

“I was inspired by the fantastic, forward-thinking use of print exemplified by the final cohort. Much of their work situates the medium, the moment, or the role of the viewer at a threshold: a site of potential or active transformation. The eight artists in On Transformation activate and expand printmaking in their explorations of life and death, truth and history, and belonging within the home, our surroundings, or ourselves,” stated Hermo.

New Voices: On Transformation is curated by Carmen Hermo, the Associate Curator for the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, with assistance from Robin Siddall, Exhibitions and Programs Coordinator at Print Center New York.
