If I Had A Hammer

The subject of this book, related exhibition and art programs of the FotoFest Biennial 2022, centers on a range of artists working from multiple perspectives and locations, over a span of some eighty years.

The FotoFest Biennial 2022 central exhibition, If I Had a Hammer, considers the ways artists utilize images to unpack the ideological underpinnings that inspire collective cultural movements around the globe. Together, the twenty-three included artists propose alternative techniques of seeing and engaging with the world, working with both conventional and new media to shed light on the systems that encourage social theories and political imaginaries to become dogma at the click of a shutter or tap of a button.

Description

If I Had a Hammer presents the work of twenty-three artists, living and dead, working from around the world. It is a continuation of FotoFest’s 39-year engagement with art and ideas, offering informed, engaged, and often new perspectives. If I Had a Hammer is but the latest project in this vein, following a rich history in which FotoFest has presented significant themes such as the threat(s) posed by climate change, conflict, water, and the global refugee crisis, as well as developments in photography and new media art emanating from Africa, the Arab region, China, Eastern Europe, India, Korea, Latin America, Russia, and each region’s respective diasporas.
