The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Archive 192: Abstract Photographs by Women, featuring works by Sara Angelucci, Claudia Fáhrenkemper, Jennifer Garza Cuen, Sage Lewis, Claire A. Warden, and others. This exhibition presents a selection of objects from Archive 192, an independent archive dedicated to preserving and celebrating abstractionist works by women photographers. The prints on view survey the array of photographic processes and diverse techniques of abstraction employed by photographers over the past century. Related ephemera, including publications, artist books, and posters document the evolution of abstractionism in photography and political movements that impact women working within the medium.

The Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture launches its 2025 program with Conflux: Variation (2025) by Baltimore-region artist collective Collis Donadio.

The Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture (CADVC) hosts an Exploratory Research Residency that invites artists and interdisciplinary collaborators to take advantage of scholarly resources and to build partnerships at UMBC and in the Baltimore region.
