EBD4 presents New Orleans photographer Josephine Sacabo's response to "walking the graffiti gauntlet" with 20 photogravure prints in her first Atlanta solo exhibition.

“Walking from my house to my studio I am confronted by a lexicon of rampant misogyny, violence and sexual insults. The messages may be verbal but their effects are visceral. We are being ‘tagged’. But I am not that woman. Why have women become the targets of the rage and frustration expressed? Why are women bearing the consequences for injustices they have not committed? I do not have the answers to these questions, all I have are these images of what it feels like to be a woman walking these streets.” Josephine Sacabo

Sacabo divides her time between New Orleans and Mexico— both places inform her work, resulting in imagery that is as startling and surreal as the places she calls home. Using alternative and traditional techniques, her photography has been featured in gallery and museum exhibitions in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. Sacabo has been the recipient of multiple awards and is included in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the International Center of Photography, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and la Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris, France. She is represented by A Gallery for Fine Art Photography, New Orleans.
