Timeline: A Record of The Moment

A real-time exploration of contemporary America through photography by documentarians and photojournalists capturing their immediate surroundings and a nation in flux. About Timeline is a real-time exploration of our changing world through the photographic lens—a living, evolving archive built by documentarians, photojournalists, and street photographers capturing what is happening right now in the places they call home, documenting a nation in flux and creating a visual record for next generations. The exhibition coincides with USA's 250th anniversary, a moment of global and domestic political, social and collective instabilities and uncertainties. Timeline invited participants to contribute to a growing national archive and an exhibition of select and curated images that will focus on their immediate surroundings and their transmutations. In its first year, Timeline is taking place in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Photographers came together for 8 months, to explore their worlds photographically, receive mentorship, connect with peers, and create long-form projects.
