NOW SHOWING at Rose Gallery @rosegallery.official A powerful two-person exhibition featuring Renee Royale @reneeroyale and Binh Danh @binhtdanh — on view through April 25, 2026. Through layered, materially driven practices, Royale and Danh explore colonial legacies, systems of extraction, and the complexities of identity, belonging, and memory. Their work asks how histories of power continue to shape bodies and land today. A must-see for anyone interested in contemporary photography, history, and critical perspectives on identity.

I had a productive spring break, spent a few days in Yosemite Valley, demoed the view camera to a couple of park-goers, and attended the “no king” SF. #daguerréotype #yosemite #nokingsprotest

On View: Binh Danh x Renee Royale. Stop by the gallery Tuesday through Friday, 10AM–5PM, and Saturday, 10AM–6PM. Bringing together two materially driven practices, this exhibition examines colonial legacies, systems of extraction, and questions of identity, land, and memory. Through daguerreotypes, altered Polaroids, and time-based processes, Danh and Royale hold the past in the present as a reminder of histories that remain unresolved. . #ROSEGALLERY #ReneeRoyale #BinhDanh #Photography #losangeles

On Thursday, March 26, San José-based artist Binh Danh, whose artworks are included in the exhibition Hyphen American: Intersection of Identity, returns to Sheldon Museum of Art to deliver a talk about his career and practice. Danh was first in Nebraska in 2011 as artist-in-residence at Sheldon and created the exhibition Viet Nam, Nebraska. In this talk, Danh will reflect on this transformational time in his career and the evolution of his artistic practice since then. This talk is presented as part of the Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series in collaboration with the School of Art, Art History, and Design. The talk is free and open to everyone. Registration is encouraged.

Join us next Tuesday March 10 for the next installment of AIPAD Virtual Talks: Binh Danh — Belonging in the National Parks at the Center for Photographic Art. Artist Binh Danh will be discussing his exhibition “Belonging in the National Parks,” on view at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA through March 22. This recent series of daguerreotypes celebrates the 110th anniversary of the United States National Park system while posing a timely question: who belongs in the national parks? Danh reimagines historic photographic processes to explore history, identity, and place. His reflective daguerreotypes of national parks invite viewers to see themselves within the American landscape. AIPAD Virtual Talks

Upcoming Exhibition! 
Three extraordinary bodies of work. Two artists. One opening. We are pleased to present a two-person exhibition featuring works by Binh Danh [@binhtdanh ] and Renee Royale [@reneeroyale ], bringing together practices that examine colonial legacies, systems of extraction, and the enduring questions of identity, belonging, and being. Through materially driven processes and historically grounded imagery, both artists contend with how bodies, land, and memory are shaped by power. Royale comes to us fresh from MoMA’s Photography Now: Lines of Belonging. Danh brings work of rare emotional and material depth. Both artists will be presenting unique works. Opening 14 March at 3 pm, with a conversation with Rotem Rozental [@rotroz ], Director and Chief Curator of the Los Angeles Center for Photography. We hope you will join us.  Save the date. .
