In the Quick Change Gallery:
March 9 – April 15, 2020 Movement, Momentum and Narrative: New Hampshire 2020 Primary A collection of photographs by Josh Kuckens exploring candidate events, voters, and the political spectacle leading up to primary day in New Hampshire. The race has changed drastically since votes were cast in the Granite State. These pictures now serve as a time capsule of sorts, when the field was crowded, and early political narratives that have since shifted were still in place. The Quick Change gallery is a mini art venue created from an up-cycled phone booth located on the second floor of Studio Place Arts. |
