To represent our city in its entirety, we actively collect photographs that show Philadelphia’s myriad experiences, livelihoods, perspectives, and histories. Featured in this exhibition are works that explore the figure and individual identities while also portraying Philadelphian microcosms. In addition to this photograph by Strauss, those by Amelia Van Buren, Ray K. Metzker, Barbara Blondeau, David Lebe and Ruth Thorne-Thomsen were all made in Philadelphia. The vibrancy, experimentation and diversity in these works are a key feature of the Philadelphian experience. (LI)
