Founded in 1994, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization CENTER, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, supports socially and environmentally engaged lens-based projects through education, public platforms, funding, and partnerships. Through our advancement of artists and their work, CENTER serves to deepen public understanding of lens-based media’s history and ongoing cultural significance. By establishing partnerships between artists, scholars, editors, students, and the art world, we advance projects that respect all people, open minds, and engage our shared humanity.
[LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT]
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is located in the ancestral and unceded traditional territories of the Tewa people. Thousands of years ago, O’ghe P’oghe – the original Tewa name for Santa Fe, meaning White Shell, Water Place – was a center for Northern and Southern Tewa communities. We honor the Tewa people of the past, present, and future who inhabit, hold sacred, and steward this land. We express our genuine appreciation and our commitment to contributing to restorative practices towards a more equitable future.
This year, CENTER realized a significant organizational milestone of moving into a new home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Photographic Space & Learning Center features an exhibition space and a curated photographic book library, which promises to be a valuable resource for photographers and scholars alike. We extended an invitation to our esteemed Review Santa Fe alumni to contribute their publications to the library, laying the foundation of this prestigious collection.
In addition to a space, we were fortunate to secure funding last fall to initiate the research and development phase of the CENTER 25-year digital collection. The endeavor, titled “Activating the Archive: 21st Century Photography,” was conducted in collaboration with the humanities scholars from the University of New Mexico. This project, made possible through a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, is dedicated to establishing an archive that will be accessible to scholars, researchers, and future generations.
It is with a mixture of disappointment and resilience that we share the news of an unexpected setback suffered earlier this year, when the aforementioned grant was abruptly terminated due to federal grant funding cuts this Spring. Thanks to the commitment of our partners, we will persevere with the archive project, but at a more measured pace.
We extend our gratitude to our dedicated staff, board members, and the support of our esteemed participants and donors, whose invaluable contributions have propelled us toward a promising new chapter. As we embark on this journey with renewed enthusiasm, we anticipate presenting thought-provoking exhibitions and innovative programs that aim to cultivate community engagement, nurture artistic expression, and foster meaningful connections in the coming year.
Upcoming programs for photographers, visual storytellers, and the general public.

2025 AWARD & GRANT WINNERS
[PROJECT LAUNCH GRANT]
JUROR • Keith W. Jenkins • NPR
WINNER • Sarah Sudhoff • 77 Minutes in Their Shoes
WEBSITE • sarahsudhoff.com
77 Minutes in Their Shoes includes long-term, community involvement with the victims’ families and survivors devastated by the 2022 shooting in Uvalde, Texas at Robb Elementary, which took the lives of 19 students and 2 teachers. Since 2022, I have been fostering a relationship with the nonprofit Lives Robbed, formed by the families, to witness and understand the full impact of these massacres and the role of art in helping communities process grief, establish connection, and enact change.
77 Minutes in Their Shoes, serves as an extension of my socially engaged practice which surveys our exposure to gun violence in the USA through photography and installation. Thirteen of the twenty-one families chose to participate in the project. 77 Minutes in Their Shoes features twelve color photographs of the shoes the Uvalde children were wearing at the time of their deaths. A teacher’s running weight vest, which closely resembles a bulletproof vest, was also included. The shoes and vest were photographed as a straightforward document and as evidence of this tragic event. The still-life photographs are paired with black and white photographs of the family holding the shoes and vest. These intimate portraits reveal the families’ vulnerability, resiliency, anger, and hope for a better outcome through their participation in this project.
The Uvalde families titled the project 77 Minutes in Their Shoes, which references the horrors their children and the teachers endured at Robb Elementary. However, for me as an artist and mother of two young children, the project also encompasses the seventy-seven minutes each person within their community waited for news of loved ones. This event did not just impact the 21 lost lives but forever changed all those still living.

This documentary project explores coming-of-age for Taiwanese grappling with their dreams, the construction of their identity, and geopolitical events.
I visited my cousins in the aftermath of the earthquake of 2 April, 2024. In the space of a month, the island had experienced more than 1,000 aftershocks. This unusual instability of the earth echoed the diplomatic blurring of international relations.
This long-term project highlights the nuances and complexities of the Taiwanese situation. It follows people of different regions into adulthood including my cousin who will soon be serving in the military. I am interested in how the current political situation influences their sensibilities and the construction of identities.

Memories of my grandmother, Tsuyajyo, kindly stay with me all the time; A small purse in which Tsuyajyo collected 500 yen coins to give me and my sister when we visited her. Hide-and-seek in the morning after I stayed a night at their house.
Tsuyajyo began showing symptoms of dementia around 2009. It was the first time my mother experienced having a family member with dementia. She took care of her mother, who could hardly perform basic tasks like eating or taking a bath. Tsuyajyo would often get angry irrationally and became someone my mother no longer recognized as her mother. These days lasted for about two years.
In 2018, Tsuyajyo moved to the hospital where her husband spent his last days. She started receiving intravenous fluids, as she could no longer eat. She also stopped singing. She could hardly move and was there until her organs slowly stopped working on a night in January 2020, at the age of 100. My mother, father, and I were there with her. I started to feel her absence, but we all smiled, seeing her face.
[PERSONAL AWARD]
JUROR • Pauline Vermare • Brooklyn Museum
WINNER • Debmalya Ray Choudhuri • A Factless Autobiography
WEBSITE • rayd.space
A Factless Autobiography is inspired by a chapter of the same name in the Book of Disquiet by the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. It grapples with the complex and often conflicting emotions of grief, melancholia, and survival while also questioning the nature of gender, identity, and the human condition.
This series primarily focuses on the journeys of three protagonists: a trans woman from Côte d’Ivoire, an immigrant in America and recovering addict whom I met in my early years in the U.S.; a Black gay American man, a survivor of abuse, and myself. Our personal and collective histories and struggles offer a window into the often-overlooked complexities of identity in a fractured society. Through this work, I try to explore the challenges of being a queer South Asian immigrant in the socially and politically fragmented landscape of America, where queer and trans lives are increasingly at risk while also attempting to raise awareness of the power of solidarity and community.
Central to my process is cultivating meaningful connections with those I meet. Through sustained conversations and the development of friendships with strangers—many of whom are survivors of trauma— I aim to create a healing space in which they can express their pain and their hopes for transformation. Through a collaborative choreography, in which dreams sometimes color reality, I ultimately raise the question of self-affirmation.
JUROR • Andrea Wise • ProPublica WINNER • Haruka Sakaguchi • The Camps America Built WEBSITE • harukasakaguchi.com
Following the Pearl Harbor attacks on December 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order authorizing the forced removal and incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry—twothirds of whom were U.S. citizens—into concentration camps. Entire families were uprooted and sent to hastily constructed detention centers, some as crude as horse stalls, before being imprisoned in remote concentration camps for up to four years. The trauma of displacement, incarceration, and family separation continues to shape lives today.
Since the war, former incarcerees and their descendants have been making pilgrimages to these former camps. The word “pilgrimage” traditionally implies a journey to a sacred place, but for this community, it is a return to a site of trauma. Why revisit a place of forced confinement and suffering? Some return to commemorate a family member. Others seek healing and closure. Many find community and belonging by gathering together in these desolate landscapes.
This project documents the camps as they stand today and the former incarcerees and descendants who journey back to them.

JUROR • Alice Gabriner • The Center for Contemporary Documentation
WINNER • Alex Welsh • Salton Sea WEBSITE • alexwelsh.com
As drought fueled by climate change batters the American West, evaporation and a decreased inflow of agricultural runoff from surrounding farms are causing California’s Salton Sea to shrink. Today, the state’s largest and most polluted lake teeters on the brink of ecological collapse. Residents living in its vicinity face the threat of toxic dust. As the soil dries and the winds stir, the lake’s parched shores emit hazardous dust laced with arsenic, selenium and pesticides—remnants of a century’s worth of agricultural runoff.
Respiratory illness in the area is already widespread and each year more children are admitted to emergency rooms in Imperial County for asthma-related cases than anywhere else in the state. The lake’s future now stands at a precipice: protracted drought and reductions in inflow from the overextended Colorado River threaten to accelerate the beleaguered lake’s decline. If the shoreline continues to recede, an estimated 100 tons of lung-damaging dust could blow off its shores daily by 2045.
The circumstances at the Salton Sea represent a microcosm of an alarming global phenomenon: earth’s largest lakes are drying out. Today, nearly two billion people—a quarter of the world’s population—live in the basin of a drying lake. Expansive and productive farmland surrounds the Salton Sea. Home to a large population of Latinx and Indigenous Mexican agricultural workers, the region is one of the most environmentally burdened and economically disadvantaged in California.
WINNER • Gregory Constantine • Seven Doors: An American Gulag
WEBSITE • 7doors.org
Today, immigration detention is a central component of immigration and asylum policy for governments around the world. In the United States, over 46,000 immigrants are detained each day in a web of prison-like detention centers while they wait for their asylum claims to be heard. Media coverage and policy discussion of immigration is often defined by the politicized optics of border crossings. Moreover, the visual translation of the use of immigration detention, especially in the United States, is usually reduced down to info graphics or illustrated maps. But how much does the US public really know about the scale and scope of this system and the trauma it inflicts on people?
I spent seven years on the project Seven Doors (2015-2023) and traveled to nine countries. The United States is the centerpiece of this entire project. Through images, data/statistics, voices and oral testimony and video, this project interrogates the widespread use of immigration detention in the United States in an attempt to demystify and expose: where these places are located, what they look like and how they traumatize and damage the lives of individuals, families and entire communities.
The work from the US titled, An American Gulag presents a multi-layered ‘photographic atlas’ of the US detention system. Panoramic images of the facilities along the western, southern and eastern border and square images of county jails throughout the interior of the US are paired with oral testimony of individuals sharing their experience in these facilities. The voices of those who have been detained or families who have someone in detention serve as the viewers guide into this experience.
Over 25 of these photographs are paired with QR code prompted ‘audio testimonies’. It is an immersive way of transporting audiences closer into the lived experience of what life is like inside these places of injustice. Documentary work and short videos are used to further ground the work and also share personal stories and the efforts being made to combat this system. In parallel with the visual work, data and statistics are used throughout to add more context.
THE JAY AND SUSIE TYRRELL EXCELLENCE IN WORKS BY HAND AWARD
Selected by the Reviewers, the Jay and Susie Tyrrell Excellence in Works by Hand Award provides $2,500 to a Review Santa Fe participant who makes unique objects of art. The aim is to encourage the preservation of historical photographic processes, including collage, emulsion transfer, painting, sewing, sculpture, and more.
No Present to Remember is a series of soft sculptures created from family photographs during my childhood in Mexico, combined with salt sourced from the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, my home for the last twenty-four years. The collection of photographs from which this series originates is among the few keepsakes I carried with me when my family relocated to the U.S. in 1999 when I was twelve years old. Revisiting these snapshots as an adult, I became keenly aware of the contrasting circumstances that molded my upbringing within two distinct geographical locations. Each piece in No Present To Remember is a reflection on how these disparate landscapes have shaped my identity and experiences over the years.
This series required me to enlarge and print my family photographs on cotton cloth and submerge them

in local saltwater. As the cloth slowly dries, it absorbs the salt, resulting in a desaturation of the images and creating a malleable medium for sculpting before it dries. Through careful manipulation of the 2D images while sculpting the cloth support, I both obscure and reveal details, echoing the ways in which memories can transform and shift in our minds over time. This deliberate distortion of the photographs serves as a metaphor for the subjective nature of memory, prompting reflection on the ways in which ongoing individual experiences and the environments in which they take root shape one’s interpretations of the past.
Project Medium - Pigment print on broadcloth, salt from the Great Salt Lake and Bonneville Salt Flats. Soft sculptures. Size varies per piece, small pieces approx. 2” x 5” x 4”, larger pieces 2” x 8” x 11”.
“He doesn’t just uplift his students— he uplifts the field itself.”
“He treats students as colleagues, not subordinates.”
“Eric’s teachings are carried into my own classroom.”
“Eric Kunsman’s passion for teaching extends far beyond the walls of his classroom or the hours of his lectures. He has always endeavored to meet the needs of students, even when doing so far exceeds his professional responsibilities. For example, although there were no deaf or hard-ofhearing students in the class I took with Professor Kunsman, he always signed every word he spoke in American Sign Language. He did this to continue to improve his ASL skills for those students in his other classes who relied on them.”
We are pleased to announce the 2025 Callanan Excellence in Teaching Award recipient.

[SEGMENT FROM THE JUROR STATEMENT]
“... (T)ransformative teaching arises not from curriculum alone but from moments when an educator’s ethos fundamentally alters a student’s understanding of possibility. I have witnessed how a single educator can irrevocably reshape a student’s trajectory—not through instruction alone, but by recognizing and affirming their inherent worth.
Reviewing this year’s nominations reaffirmed this truth, with Eric T. Kunsman’s dossier emerging as a masterclass in pedagogical devotion... The letters in his support paint a portrait of a teacher who invests not only in skills but in people—whether by learning American Sign Language to bridge communication barriers, funding thesis exhibitions during a pandemic, or transforming his personal studio into a sanctuary for experimentation. These acts transcend generosity; they reflect a profound understanding of education as a covenant that persists long after a semester concludes.”

[BROKEN HOOF BY ISHMAEL CLAXTON]
Broken Hoof is a deeply personal photographic exploration of family, identity, and transformation. The project focuses on three generations of women: my daughter Nancy, her mother Violet, and her grandmother Marina. Through their connection, I reflect on the complexities of heritage, motherhood, and the quiet resilience passed from one generation to the next.
The series began with a simple question: What does family mean to me? My life has undergone a profound shift, from the pace and unpredictability of freelancing in U.S. cities to a slower, more rooted existence shaped by nature and fatherhood.
[PORTAL BY PETER EVAN COSTAS]
I am fascinated by naval history and its relationship to historical photographic processes, specifically, with the use of naval superstitions and traditions, pre-standardized cartography, and the methods of photographic image-making prior to the invention of film. I am often drawn to the use of camera-less photographic techniques as a metaphor for the memories I have from my naval service that I can never divulge, at least without severe consequences.
This project, PORTAL, is my first avenue into applying my photographic experiments with the experiences of veterans other than myself.
[VETERANS THROUGH THE CRACKS BY RON KELLER]
Veterans Through the Cracks speaks to the post-service experiences of five veterans. All five served in combat situations from the far east conflicts in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand, to Middle East conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Four received honorable discharges, and one did not. This brief look at their stories conveys but a small sampling of the hundreds-of-thousands who share similar experiences. I have witnessed many veterans who did their job only to have the care and benefits they earned denied. One particularly tragic story involved a local veteran who served 26 years in the Air Force, was diagnosed with cancer after his retirement and due to some incomprehensible paperwork issues, was denied medical care and tragically died, receiving no care at all.
[CONNECTING THE DOTS BY KATHLEEN LAROQUE]
Connecting the Dots is based on this re-discovering of my self through several photo-based collages that highlight my mothers service in the Marine Corps, my birth/father, and my own service in the Army. This project has also sparked further interest into researching the stories of other woman veterans discharged due to pregnancy (with no separation benefits) from 1951 to 1976 and efforts being made by U.S. Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-CA, 26th District) who introduced legislation this year (WISER Act) that would provide discharge upgrades, increased access to health care, and one-time payments to those affected.
[VACANT PLACES BY WENDELL THAYNE]
Terms like “Isolation, Remote, Solitude” are my watchwords. The places that I find solace.
As an Iraq veteran I often find my thoughts jumbled, troubled and dark. I find refuge in isolated and lonely places where dark thoughts can be vacated. Many reflect feelings of loss and despair.
As veterans, we can be frustrating to those who are closest to us. We have strained relationships with our significant others. Employment can be difficult for many of us. We are misunderstood by our fellow citizens who on one hand see us as heroes, which we are far from, (and bristle at the label), to seeing us as victims unable to function in society. These stereotypes can be misleading and stigmatizing.

The Review Santa Fe conference is held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the La Fonda on the Plaza Hotel.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, known as “The City Different,” is home to a wealth of arts, culture, and history. Originally home to the Tewa people, Santa Fe is one of the longest inhabited cities in the country, and the oldest state capitol. Visitors come to the city to experience the rich culture, and to be immersed in the breathtaking landscapes.
New Mexico’s legacy of photographic excellence began with the medium’s most defining names. Photographs of New Mexico preceded its statehood due to expeditions led by Timothy O’Sullivan, among others, who documented newly opened territories of the West. Art Patron Mabel Dodge Luhan invited visitors, including Paul Strand, Edward Weston, and Alfred Stieglitz’ wife, Georgia O’Keeffe, who eventually made her home in New Mexico. The University of New Mexico photography program attracted esteemed educators, including historian Beaumont Newhall, and photographers Van Deren Coke and Patrick Nagatani. The University of New Mexico Art Museum, the New Mexico History Museum’s Palace of the Governors, and the New Mexico Museum of Art have outstanding photographic collections and host regular exhibitions.
CENTER is honored to be a part of Santa Fe’s unique photographic history as it celebrates 31 years in 2025 and opens a new photographic gallery and learning center in Santa Fe, NM. The new venue is a destination for ongoing public exhibitions and programs.
