Sioux City art show reframes what portraits can be

“Working Remotely,” by Areca Roe, is on display at the Sioux City Art Center.

In an era when everyone has a powerful smartphone camera in their pocket, a photography exhibition titled “Close to Me” at the Sioux City Art Center from Midwest photographers highlights conceptual narratives of personality, economic status, racial identity, gender formation, and family relations.

The group show includes the work of Julie Blackmon, Rachel Cox, Heidi Draley McFall, Pao Houa Her, and Areca Roe. Each has her own distinctive take on the art form.

The exhibition opened today and runs through May.
