Through this platform, we strive to give voice to traditionally underrepresented communities, and to present compelling, urgent lens-based art.

Lindsay McIntyre, Artist/FilmmakerRui Mateus Amaral, MOCA Artistic DirectorStuart R. Keeler, TD Bank Senior CuratorEmmy Lee Wall, Executive Director and Chief Curator, Capture Photography Festival
