Devalina Guha Roy wrote in to say that she and a group of other photographers are showing their work in Philadelphia. The show, an Asian Arts Initiative called A Different Lens runs from now through June 3.

“A Different Lens exhibition, a collaboration with the Philadelphia chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA), focuses on the unique perspectives of Asian American photographers and challenges the distinction between photography as an art form and photojournalism. The Asian Arts Initiative is interested in how Asian American photographers depict and portray Asian and Asian American culture and experience, particularly in terms of people, locations, and objects/artifacts.”
