Art813 USF Breaking Barriers

The "Breaking Barriers: PORTRAIT" exhibit displayed at the USF Contemporary Art Museum (USFCAM) showcased many such insights from local military veterans and their family members. The show, a collaboration between the museum and the USF School of Art & Art History, focused on expression through imagery. Many of the photographs and the labels written to accompany them highlighted the self-reflection that can take place behind a camera lens.
The exhibit was the culmination of a six-week program attended by 22 veterans and family members. Artists were divided into beginning- and advanced-level workshops, each taught by U.S. Army veteran and USF Master of Fine Arts graduate, Christian Cortes. Artists also participated in an accompanying writing workshop, designed to help the photographers find words for the thoughts and feelings depicted in their portraits. The Breaking Barriers program, now in its seventh year, is so successful that several photographers return year after year to refine techniques and delve deeper into creative expression and introspection.
