Shannon Benine

Collective, 2018–ongoing

We are an artist collective focused on exploring and expanding the diverse range of artistic practices within photography. Representing a mix of emerging and mid-career artists, we come together to critique and learn from each other during annual workshops at various locations around the globe. We individually and collectively create artworks which address the intersectional and political issues involved with identity in relation to class, race, religion, ethnic background, gender and sexual orientation. Our future collaborative projects center on themes that promote empathy, compassion and greater acceptance of diverse viewpoints within our world to create a more inclusive future.

Our next upcoming workshop on the artist made book is this March in San Francisco.
