The Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC) presents 'Through the Lens' at the Schaefer International Gallery, an invitational exhibition featuring innovative photography by six contemporary Hawai‘i-based artists: Vincent Bercasio, Kelly Ciurej, Noah Harders, Michelle Mishina, Brandon Ng, and Nainoa Rosehill. The show runs from June 2 through July 25, with free admission, and includes fresh bodies of work exploring digital, analog, and mixed media processes that push the boundaries of image creation, staging, capture, development, and alteration.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the vibrant and evolving photography scene in Hawai‘i, bringing together artists who use the camera as a tool to navigate societal narratives, environmental transformations, and alternate realities. By showcasing new interpretations of the medium, 'Through the Lens' underscores the role of photography in today's media-saturated climate, offering audiences a chance to engage with works that examine cultural hybridity, identity, and the relationship between humans and the natural world.
