Fall of Freedom

4:00PM
Saturday 
22 November, 2025

Join Elijah Wheat Showroom for an artist Q&A, and mixer with some of the participants in Unfixxxed. Queries will address fearless authenticity through the lens in the face of fascism. How do photographs and photographers subvert a narrative with truth, integrity, subtlety, and honest intentions in the face of the current state of the media and the 'powers that be?' We intend to tackle non-fictitious ideas leading Photography’s activism within documentary, alongside the importance of photographic artists subverting the mainstream dialogue. Curators present will include: 

Co-Moderated by Jessamyn Fiore—Director, The Estate of Gordon Matta-Clark, and Carolina Wheat, Director,  Elijah Wheat Showroom

With artists:

Liz Nielsen—Photographic Artist/Light Painter & Co-founder, Elijah Wheat Showroom

Young Sun Han—Activist Artist/Performer, Organizer & Educator

Heather Renée Russ—Multidisciplinary Artist

Marlos E'van-Artist/Performer Activist

Lauren Silberman-Documentary Photographer

And more. After, a queer vibe dance party with music by DJ Lena starts about 8PM.
