International Center of Photography
Curated by Sara Ickow, Associate Director of Exhibitions, Keisha Scarville, Guest Curator, and Elisabeth Sherman, Senior Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at ICP, *To Conjure: New Archives in Recent Photography* showcases the work of seven artists primarily focused on photography—Widline Cadet, Koyoltzintli, Tarrah Krajnak, Shala Miller, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Keisha Scarville, and Sasha Wortzel. The exhibition challenges traditional ideas of what an archive can be, suggesting that it is not only a tool for recovering the past but also a medium for envisioning new possibilities for the future.
Departing from the conventional institutional archive, the artists in *To Conjure* broaden its scope by incorporating a variety of materials—such as clothing, instruments, and the landscape—beyond just photographs and documents. Through their use of diverse contemporary materials, these artists create alternative histories and new material perspectives.
