Perspectives in Context
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
PAM CUT welcomes you to the 2022 Arnold Newman Distinguished Lecturer in Photography program with Harvard Art Museums Curator of Photography, Makeda Best, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Perspectives.
This talk will explore how the photography of the movement for Black lives has encouraged new forms of photo-based documentation – rupturing conventional media communication, tropes of witnessing, traditions of photojournalism, and the notion of the public sphere.
