Within the Bittersweet – Postcard Exhibition
THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER. SHIPPING EXPECTED IN MID-JUNE, 2025.
For a generation of parents raising children today, climate change is no longer a distant threat–it's a kitchen table issue. Urgent questions shadow the wonder, struggle, and complexity of everyday life: What will the world our children inherit look like? Will it even be habitable?
In Within the Bittersweet, photographer Allison Grant explores the emotional weight of raising her daughters in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, against the backdrop of climate crisis and local industrial pollution. Drawing on a long tradition of socially conscious photographers who make political work laden with the personal, her images negotiate pressing new concerns as our planet undergoes rapid and irreversible change.
This edition is a small exhibition in postcard form. A soft cover, wire stitched collection of 20 perforated, removable 4x5" images from Within the Bittersweet.
