The Henry Art Gallery, located at 15th Avenue NE and NE 41st Street on the western edge of the University of Washington campus, commemorates Photographer Milton Rogovin’s life’s work as a social documentarian as he turns 100 years old this winter with a selection of his  black-and-white photographs. In an exhibition on view from December 10 through April 25, Rogovin engages with a variety of people - factory workers, miners, citizens of Cuba and Zimbabwe, and the poor in his hometown of Buffalo, New York - through the filter of political action, a devotion to social justice, and an abiding sympathy for his fellow human beings. Shown: Milton Rogovin. Lower West Side [from Lower West Side, Buffalo series].
