Description

The Changing Americas 2024

Introducing The Changing Americas 

From the oceans surrounding it to the mountains and rivers dividing it, this land is home to some of the world’s most powerful and striking landscapes. Whether urban, rural, or suburban, landscapes are always changing – sometimes the changes are welcome, and others can lead to unintended consequences. Landscapes are affected by development, restoration, natural disasters, the warming climate, and other natural and anthropogenic factors. Show us the landscapes of your life. Open to all media following exhibition guidelines, MFA will showcase any original 2D or 3D work depicting a landscape from the Americas (North America, Hawaii, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America). Works selected by the juror will be exhibited in MFA’s Circle Gallery from August 28 – September 21, 2024.

He has published three photography books, “Burma: Something Went Wrong,” “Letter from PLF” and “Echo.” Chao’s Burma portraits were featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial (New York, New York).
