Today, viewers are barraged by seemingly endless streams of new kinds of media images on an unprecedented scale. Perpetual Revolution: The Image and Social Change explores the relation between the overwhelming image world that confronts us, and the volatile, provocative, and often-violent social world it mirrors.

Organized by ICP Curators Carol Squiers and Cynthia Young, along with adjunct curators Joanna Lehan and Kalia Brooks with assistance from Akshay Bhoan and Quito Ziegler, Perpetual Revolution will examine five critical issues transformed by visual culture: #BlackLivesMatter, gender fluidity, climate change, terrorist propaganda, and the refugee crisis.

A dynamic series of public programs will accompany the exhibition. Lectures, panel discussions, and other events will consider the medium, means, and methods of the transformations addressed in Perpetual Revolution, asking questions such as “Why do images go viral?” and “How do communities proliferate online?” Stay tuned for a full schedule.
