Dan Nelken

HeadStrong: The Women of Rural Uganda

Publication date: September 2026 (EU), October 2026 (US)

Photobooks
Dan Nelken’s new photobook is a compelling collection of portraits celebrating women of Northern Uganda working hard to provide for their families. Most of the sitters for this graceful series have lived a harsh life affected by the civil war, subsequent insurgencies, and struggling economy.

Some of the women were abducted by insurgents when they were kids or were internally displaced because of the hostilities. Many had to drop out of school and started to work at a young age. Most are mothers toiling to buy food and clothes for their children, and pay school fees. But none abandon hope for a brighter future.

Caleb Cain Marcus

A Thousand Rectangles

Exhibition dates: May 30 – July 26, 2026

Exhibitions
An award-winning book designer, Caleb Cain Marcus has long promoted the making of books as an art form in its own right. This summer, he furthers his philosophy through an actual art exhibition — A Thousand Rectangles: On Design and the Expression of Art — hosted by the Griffin Museum of Photography from May 30 - July 26, 2026. 

To explore the nature of his medium of choice, Cain Marcus deconstructs and dissociates some of his studio’s products from their original form and purpose. By doing so, he creates pieces that celebrate the enduring beauty and magnetism of books, as well as their power to inspire.

Jo Ann Chaus

Unspoken

Publication date: July 2026 (EU), September 2026 (US)

Photobooks
Part of a bigger journey of liberation through self-exploration, this new photobook by Jo Ann Chaus is above all a collection of self-portraits, complemented by landscapes, still lifes and domestic interiors observed and inhabited by the photographer-cum-model.

With the women of the 1950s as her role models, and influenced by the New Color Photography movement and her background in fashion, Chaus employs dramatic colors and lighting to photograph herself — occasionally undressed but more often fancily clad in bright dresses of the era, exhibiting both strength and vulnerability.

Cindy Konits

This Room Will Survive Me

Publication date: May 2026

Photobooks
Architecture is more than an engagement with visual aesthetics. It is a stage for choreographed interaction with our personal histories and each other. In her book, This Room Will Survive Me, lens-based artist Cindy Konits invites us to think of architecture as the mediation between the world and the mind, as the liminal space mediating human perception of experience, memory, meaning and the material world of structures, climate, objects.
