Breaking Barriers: Veterans Sharing Their Voices Through Art

Through Our Lens is an exhibition of 47 photographs created by 16 military veterans and their families who participated in the USF Contemporary Art Museum’s 2022 Breaking Barriers photography workshops.

For the first time the USF Contemporary Art Museum offered two workshops, both led by artist Selina Román and assisted by artist Christian Cortés.

The beginning workshop, Seeing Like a Camera, Working Like an Artist, focused on close looking and “seeing like an artist” while the advanced workshop, Out of the Box—New Ways of Seeing and Making Photographs, went a step further and focused on creating photographs that give the viewer pause and offer new ways of seeing, understanding and expression.
