Spokane means something different to all of us, whether we've lived here all our lives, or have newly arrived. A new summer-long exhibit at the Terrain gallery inside the Washington Cracker Co. Building aims to capture these sentiments from as many viewpoints as possible.
"Our hope is to capture images of this moment in the life of our city from many angles, so that we can see, as comprehensively as possible, the way Spokane looks to all of its people," explains the exhibit statement for "Snapshot: A Look at Spokane Right Now."
Local professional photographers — including the Inlander's Young Kwak, along with Rajah Bose, Kristen Black, Robert Lloyd, Grace Lindsey and Laree Weaver — have contributed some of their most iconic images of the city and its people for display in the collective showcase. To complement their work, Terrain has asked the public, with a focus on populations whose perspective is not as often captured on film, to contribute their own Spokane snapshots to the exhibit. Budding mobile photographers are also encouraged to share their scenes for consideration using the hashtag #spokanesnapshot. New images from both underserved groups and those that are shared on social media channels will be added to the exhibit over the course of its three-month run. Terrain also plans to host several side events to supplement Snapshot's art, including a public reading of works created during a recent writing workshop facilitated by Spokane Poet Laureate Laura Read, set for July 12.
