JEREMIAH ARIAZ: WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS
Zeitgeist Gallery / 516 Hagan St. , #100 October 3, 2020 - November 21, 2020
Jeremiah Ariaz
Zeitgeist is pleased to present We Hold These Truths, a new group of photographs from Jeremiah Ariaz that speaks to these times.
Statement:
We Hold These Truths is a selection of photographs made across the U.S. during the Trump presidency. Drawn from the Declaration of Independence, the title implicates “We” the viewer as an active participant, acknowledging the collective responsibility shared in our democracy. The photographs reveal the anxiety felt across the nation and speak to this historic moment, as tensions run increasingly high in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
