Since launching the Emerging Lens Fellowship in 2015, AWP has been able to support and be inspired by the tremendous growth of 13 new and early-career documentary photographers who have gone on to receive additional fellowships and awards, and have showcased their works in exhibitions and publications across the globe. Last shown at the 2024 Photoville Festival in Brooklyn, NY, “Emerging Lens: Safety, Visibility, Justice, and a Hope for the Future,” features eight of our past fellows and will be on view at Easy Does It on Nov. 2. Each of the exhibition panels highlights how underrepresented voices have pushed the boundaries of traditional photojournalism and storytelling, leading with community-centered narratives that connect us all on a basic human level.
At the event, Easy Does It will lead a curated tasting of 12 wines, illuminating the enduring connection between land, identity, and resilience. The concept of terroir resonates uniquely in many of AWP's visual stories, where natural elements like soil and climate shape and preserve cultural heritage. Photography and wine are living records, carrying layers of meaning that reflect the past and inform the present. This connection becomes the foundation of artists’ and winemakers' narratives, as their resulting works remind us that land is more than just terrain, but a cultural identity.
A portion of each ticket sold will support the Emerging Lens Fellowship, providing unrestricted grants, production support, and professional mentorship for new and early-career documentary photographers worldwide. During the event, guests will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and bid on silent auction items that will help AWP meet critical funding gaps to sustain the program.
Join us in celebrating a decade of powerful storytelling and experience the rich narratives that intertwine land, culture, and resilience.
