Description
In the Room Where it Happened provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the recent history of both the U.S. presidency and the responsibilities of photographing it. Images by Joyce Boghosian, Shealah Craighead, Eric Draper, Michael Evans, Sharon Farmer, David Hume Kennerly, Bob McNeely, Yoichi Okamoto, Adam Schultz, Pete Souza, and David Valdez are included in the exhibition. Drawing from national archives, presidential libraries, and the artists themselves, this exhibition unveils a nuanced perspective into the personal and public lives of the country’s leaders.
With over 150 photographs spanning decades of our government’s big and small moments—as seen through the lenses of this unique group of photographers—the exhibition is delighting audiences young and old, giving them the opportunity to walk through history and see a vision of democracy not seen in recent years.
