Kuhn Library Gallery presents Lewis Hine in Maryl and\, on display from August 24 through December 18. The exhibition will b e accompanied by Lisa Oppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso. \nFrom 1908 to 19 24\, documentary photographer Lewis Hine (American\, 1874–1940) traveled throughout the United States\, using his camera to document child labor o n behalf of the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC). He photographed chi ldren working in coal mines\, cotton mills\, farms\, tenements\, and city streets. The NCLC used Hine’s photographs and eyewitness reports to supp ort its campaigns for labor regulation and reform. His images appeared in pamphlets\, posters\, traveling exhibitions\, and lantern-slide presentati ons across the country. Ultimately\, these searing photographs helped shap e labor legislation in the United States and established a model for docum entary photography. \nIn July 1909\, Hine visited Maryland\, photographing child workers at Bottomley berry farms in Anne Arundel County and at the J. S. Farrand Packing Company in Baltimore. Drawn from UMBC’s Photograph y Collections\, this exhibition explores the places and people behind thes e photographs. A selection of Hine’s most iconic and enduring images sit uates his Maryland work within the broader context of his documentary proj ect. The exhibition also examines how Hine’s photographs functioned as t ools of visual persuasion\, working in tandem with captions\, pamphlets\, slogans\, and posters to shape public opinion — and ultimately legislati on — regarding the changing role of children in the workforce and in Ame rican society. \nThis exhibition commemorates MD250 and the U.S. Semiquinc entennial\, exploring themes foundational to the nation’s history\, incl uding immigration and migration\, the power of documentary photographs\, a nd social justice. \n\nPublic Programs \nCuratorial tour and opening recep tion\nThursday September 17\, 5 p.m. \nPanel Discussion: Food and Labor in Maryland\nThursday October 22\, 6 p.m.\, followed by a reception\nThis ev ent is co-organized with Department of American Studies and the Orser Cent er for Public Humanities at UMBC. \nClosing reception\nThursday December 3 \, 6 p.m. \nAll public program are free and open to the public. \n\nLisa O ppenheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso \nLewis Hine in Maryland is accompanied b y an installation of two works from artist Lisa Oppenheim’s Spine series \, in which she appropriates images by Lewis Hine from the Library of Cong ress. Enlarged to life size\, the photographs depict the backs of adolesce nt textile workers whose bodies were curved and misshapen by their labor. Oppenheim has bifurcated each image along the vertical axis of the spine\, emphasizing the physical impact of repetitive work on the body. Lisa Oppe nheim/Lewis Hine: Spine/Verso places Oppenheim’s works in dialogue with a selection of photographs from UMBC’s Lewis Hine Collection\, displayed with their versos — or backs — visible to viewers. \nIn 2023\, with s upport from a National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistanc e Grant\, Special Collections staff undertook a major initiative to rehous e the Lewis Hine photographs and digitize their versos. The backs of the p hotographs bear captions\, annotations\, and inscriptions by Hine and othe rs employed by the NCLC\, testifying to their use in the organization’s publications and promotional campaigns. Together\, these materials reveal the many forms of labor documented in Hine’s work and the ways that labo r is imprinted upon — and remains legible within — the bodies of his s ubjects. \n \nLisa Oppenheim was born in 1975 in New York\, New York. She received a BA in art and semiotics from Brown University in 1998 and an MF A in film and video from Bard College in 2001. She attended the Whitney Mu seum of American Art Independent Study Program for studio art in 2003. Opp enheim’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at MUDAM\, The Co ntemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg (2025)\; Huis Marseille\, Amsterdam (2 024)\, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (2017)\, and the Museum of Contem porary Art Cleveland (2016). In 2014\, Oppenheim was the recipient of the AIMIA|AGO Photography Prize from the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Shpilm an International Photography Prize from the Israel Museum. Her work is hel d in the permanent collections of The J. Paul Getty Museum\, Los Angeles\, Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Sa n Francisco\, Solomon R.
