Gray Zones was inspired by the semiquincentennial of the United States, which feels less united with every passing day. Yet the reality is that all of us, whether we are urban or rural, queer or straight, born in the USA or elsewhere, share similar struggles, loves, hardships, and joys.

The dominant narrative is invested in dividing us to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of the few while keeping the rest of us on the margins. This exhibition – an extraordinary collection of work by highly accomplished photographers – challenges viewers to reconsider traditional lines of division.

It invites us to see ourselves in each other, regardless of race, class, or other differences. It reminds us that solidarity is not only possible but necessary if we are to continue as a nation.
