ART • GARFIELD
When The Family of Man opened in 1955 at the the Museum of Modern Art, the ambitious exhibition — which compiled 503 images from 68 countries — was both applauded and criticized, mainly for what many viewed as an overly sentimental, narrow approach to art photography. Kelli Connell and Natalie KrickIn draw on the famous collection with o_ Man!, now on view at Silver Eye Center for Photography. The artists use a variety of techniques to challenge the “male-dominated history of photography” through the lens of the famed MoMA show. 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Continues through April 13. 4808 Penn Ave., Garfield.
