The annual Workshop builds an international community of writers, photographers, editors and publishers. Through experimentation, adventure and creative exchange, participants develop ideas, relations, tactics and traditions in order to articulate a field in the most robust sense. The ITI press, modeled on contemporary photographic and literary small presses, publishes innovative works of text and image by national and international writers and artists.

A group exhibition of recent work by the Image Text MFA 2026 graduates of Cornell University, the show is a container for photographs, videos, and visual texts that unfold and fold up over and over. Chaos, control, desire, humor, grief, and hope ricochet across the space. It asks: How might we build or re-build a stable self in an unstable world?
