Stephen Marc, photographer and art professor at Arizona State University’s Herberger College of Fine Arts, is recognized for his unique and powerful photographic montages that explore the African Diaspora. His images combine family snapshots, antique photographs and images from his own extensive body of photographic work. The dual themes of all his work are an attempt to tell both his personal story and the story of a culture.
Marc creates digital photo montages from the approximately 30,000 photographs he has taken in 21 states, D.C. and Canada, creating captivating collages that blend the past and the present in artistic renderings that make history accessible – even fascinating – as he preserves and repackages the story of one of this country’s most significant historical movements. When the Underground Railroad project is complete, Marc plans to publish it in book form and exhibit it as a traveling exhibition.
