Additional information
Photography has played a central role in social movements, igniting desire for change and inspiring action. At the same time, it has been commandeered to consolidate power, stifle dissent, and foreclose a sense that other worlds are possible. In this lecture, Leigh Raiford and Teju Cole will consider photography’s limits and possibilities in moments of political urgency and crisis.
