âThrough Our Eyesâ, produced by Atlanta Lens based artist Sheila Pree Bright in collaboration with One Contemporary Gallery and sponsored by Leica Camera USA ( ), was born from the energy and anticipation surrounding the FIFA World Cupâs arrival in Atlanta. As a city rooted in the legacy of the civil rights movement while emerging as a global sports destination, Atlanta exists at a powerful intersection of culture, history, and community. This exhibition offers an opportunity to see the city beyond headlines and stereotypes through the richness, complexity, and beauty of its communities.
The exhibition features Sheila Pree Brightâs new series, âWhere We Gatherâ, an exploration of sports fan culture, alongside works by three women photographers selected by Bright: Nicole Craine, Julie Yarbrough, and Ysa Lopez. Brightâs mission was to spotlight professional women photographers outside the traditional fine arts world, each bringing a unique photographic perspective to Atlantaâs rich and diverse communities.
The exhibition also honors PelĂŠ, whose artistry on the soccer field transcended sport. Through movement, creativity, and connection, PelĂŠ united people across borders, languages, and cultures while helping elevate soccer onto the global stage. That same spirit of unity, storytelling, and cultural exchange is at the heart of Through Our Eyes.
