Over the past eight years, Price's photos have been displayed in several cities across the United States, with a few residing in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Andre Bradley is based in Philadelphia and uses photography, curatorial practice and publishing to explore the subjects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the Black community, race, photographic representation and narrative space. Bradley utilizes photography, installation, and experimental lectures as forms of ideological resistance that foreground lived experiences of Blackness against the background of art. Bradley graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Image Text Ithaca and the Rhode Island School of Design's photography M.F.A. programs. While at Rhode Island School of Design, he received the T.C. Colley Award for photographic excellence. While at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Bradley was named a George Ciscle Scholar in curatorial practice. Bradley's first photo-book, Dark Archives, I-41, was shortlisted for the Photo-Text Book Award at Les Rencontres d'Arles and the Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation First Photo Book Award.
