We are thrilled to present an artist talk with Gabriel Moses Rivera in collab with Photo Farm and Click! Photo Festival. 📸

The ArtsCenter | Oct. 24, 7:00 - 8:30pm | FREE admission

Gabriel Moises Rivera is a photo maker born in Pennsylvania to Puerto Rican parents, raised in Dallas, Texas. New York has been home for the last decade, though in recent years his life has extended to a small village in Italy.

For fifteen years the camera has been his primary tool. Over the last nine, he has worked exclusively with black and white film, handling every step from development to final print by hand. At Gowanus Darkroom in Brooklyn, where he has taught analog photography since 2023, he passes on not just a craft but a way of seeing.

Rivera's photographs are marked by solitude and spatial awareness. Moments are carved out of their surroundings and allowed to take on a new existence within the frame. A minimalist sculpting of sorts, one that comes down to removing what is nonessential so what remains is free to speak clearly. His eye favors the peripheral and the in-between, people as form, light as structure, textures and details of everyday life that exist just outside the center of attention, made significant by the act of witnessing.

A seven-year collaboration with photographer Jack McKain has carried Rivera through commercial and independent projects, the two working in parallel but distinct practices. In January 2026, Rivera's print titled 'Sanctuary of Presence' was exhibited at MoMA as part of 'Call and Response,' an exhibition by artist Samora Pinderhughes.

"To make a photo is to choose what moments are witnessed. Before technicality, there is intuition: the pull toward a moment worth holding even before it is fully realized. Alongside it, discipline that builds in process: subtraction, refinement, sculpting until only what's necessary remains. Everything is photographable, yet not everything is photographed. What do the things we decided to make photos of say about us and the world at large?"

I found my first darkroom at 12 years old. This week, at 44, I found it again.

A week of loading film, mixing chemistry, watching images rise in the developer tray. We got our hands into cyanotypes and Van Dyke prints, coaxing pictures out of sunlight and precious metals and time. And we made a REAL photo book!!

No instant gratification. Just slow, intentional craft, and a room full of people who made it feel like magic all over again.

A week of slow, playful, intentional making with the most generous group of instructors and fellow students I could have asked for.

Should I start including film photography packages to clients?

We’re pleased to support @photofarmnc Photo Farm’s special potluck and bonfire edition of their INSIDER TRADING series featuring curator, writer, educator and Creative Director of the @icp International Center of Photography, David Campany! Through a selection of case studies, David will explore his approach to his curatorial work, discussing the range of scales, materials, subjects, approaches to installation, and the almost endless possibilities of design.

Photo Farm’s INSIDER TRADING series is designed for in-person skill and knowledge sharing. Each meetup narrows in on a specific area of expertise along with an accomplished ambassador. Every guest begins by introducing themselves and answering common questions around the topic at hand. The second half is open to the natural evolution of particular questions and conversation.

“INSIDER TRADING MEETUP VI: Making Photographic Exhibitions with David Campany” will take place on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 6:00 PM 8:30 PM, 722 Sumner Spring Lane. Visit Photo Farm’s website (https://www.photofarmnc.com/events/insider-trading-meetup-vi-campany) for further information and details on registration.
