Digital images of an ancient city in Turkey and photographs portraying lesbian couples in contemporary American society will be on view at the Macy Gallery of Teachers College through Nov. 12. Matczak visited Turkey a few years ago and became enthralled with the underground city of Derinkuyu, an early troglodyte settlement hewn from tufa, a soft stone of mud, ash and lava. The city, in the now extinct Ericyes Mountains, dates back at least 40 centuries and was inhabited by the Hittite and Proto-Hittite peoples. The photographs were then digitized through scanning and outputted on an IRIS inkjet printer using vegetable dyes on Fabriano watercolor paper. Culver, a political and social activist, has been photographing lesbian and gay couples for more than a decade.
Admission is free.
