New website. New Projects.

Mar 10, 2021

Thank you to everyone who subscribed to the newsletter recently. We are going through a few updates.

We have updated our website. Take a look, yieldmagazine.org

Midwest Photography

We are doing more to look from the Midwest out to engage the larger photography community. We will accomplish this by showcasing the collections of museums and galleries in the Midwest featuring regional, national, and international artists.

Midwest Photographers

We are also working to feature Midwest Photographers on our website. As photographers produce new work we will update their profile. This is a developing project with guidelines to be made available soon.

This is a partnership between BLACK@ND, a digital platform to discuss the experiences of Notre Dame’s African American students, and YIELD, created to engage the community at the University of Notre Dame and beyond by promoting work by emerging Black photographers.

After nearly twenty years as a financial trader, Chris Arnade left Wall Street to explore American communities experiencing poverty, addiction, and homelessness. Immersing himself at first in Hunts Point in the Bronx, Arnade then expanded his search across the country, to the struggles of the poorest of small rural towns. Arnade reveals, through his photographs and writing, the stories of those whom he refers to as “back row America.” Through shared poverty and struggles, the people of back row America find strength in a strong anchor to community and place, whether that place be the local McDonald’s or the local storefront church. By spending time in these places, simply hanging out and talking, connections are made. Through the connections that Arnade makes, a story of shared humanity and individual dignity is told. The depth of these stories and images takes form in Arnade’s book, Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America.

Thank you all again for subscribing to the newsletter.

Sincerely,

Mike Rippy, YIELD Editor
