Despite It All We Never Learn
September 9 - October 8, 2022
M Contemporary Art is pleased to present Despite It All We Never Learn, a solo exhibition of photographs by Kenny Karpov. The exhibition will present a selection of images from Karpov’s time spent in the Mediterranean Sea between 2015-2019 working with various NGOs, and is curated by gallery owner Melannie Chard. Despite It All We Never Learn is intended to help raise awareness of this humanitarian crisis, as well as highlight our shared humanity, as too often peoples’ stories remain abstract and distant from us.
The exhibition is part of Karpov’s broader mission to share the stories of the many refugees he encountered during his time in Europe. This fall he self-published a book also entitled Despite It All We Never Learn. It contains testimonies and the agonizing first person narratives and impossible decisions that refugees have to make as they head toward what they believe is a better life.
