Guest curated by Kalup Linzy On View: July 3 – October 5, 2025 | Gallery 1
The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) is happy to present Here For Now, a powerful group exhibition curated by artist Kalup Linzy. On view from July 3 through October 5, 2025, this exhibition brings together photography and video works that explore movement, change, and what it means to belong.
The featured artists share personal stories and observations about how people navigate place, identity, and community. Whether moving to a new country, living between cultures, or reflecting on life in public spaces, these works capture the emotional and social experiences of people living “in between” moments.
In Eyakem Gulilat’s Collaborative Self, the artist reflects on his life as an Ethiopian immigrant in Oklahoma. He photographs both the people and landscapes around him and includes himself in the process, creating images that mix Ethiopian and American influences. The result is a powerful look at what it means to find your place in a new environment.
Martha Rosler’s video Secrets From the Street shows the everyday life of San Francisco’s Mission District while raising questions about who gets seen, who gets heard, and how power and privilege shape public spaces. In the video, Rosler states, “To understand another culture, you first have to understand the limits of your own.”
Other featured artists include Jackson Adair, Adam Davis, and Le’Andra LeSeur, whose works also explore identity, movement, and community in thoughtful and creative ways.
Presented in partnership with Queen Rose Art House and the Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Here For Now invites viewers to pause and consider how we all move through the world and how art helps us understand each other along the way.
The exhibition will be on view in Gallery 1 at FMoPA, located at 1630 E. 7th Avenue, Tampa, FL 33605. Admission is $12. Learn more about the exhibition and museum at www.fmopa.org. •
