JSMA at PSU is pleased to present an exhibition tour of Just Playin’ Around. Led by curators Nancy and Theo Downes-Le Guin, the tour will cover highlights of the exhibition. They will be joined by artist Calvin Chen, who will share insights on his photographs in the exhibition!
Calvin Chen (American, b. 1972) is a pediatrician and photographer based in Vancouver, Washington. For many years, Chen has captured images of children at play during his travels. In the series Cómo Juegan los Niños, which these images belong to, Chen depicts children in different parts of the world engaged in carefree, imaginative play despite limited resources and often dangerous environments.
Please contact jsma@pdx.edu or (503) 725-6238 two weeks in advance of the program to request accommodations for a disability or ask questions about physical access.
