By/For: Photography & Democracy is a collaborative partnership between three photographic historians, Dr. Tom Allbeson, Dr. Colleen O’Reilly, and Helen Trompeteler. Our second season of events begins on Friday 6 February. Please join us online with Anne Cross and Matthew Fox-Amato for their lecture, ‘To Show or Not to Show: Ethics, Censorship, and the Case of the Scourged Back’.
With a year of thought-provoking conversations on photography and democracy, upcoming lectures include Vindhya Buthpitiya, Leigh Raiford, Jeehey Kim, Zahid R. Chaudhary, and Tiffany Fairey.
Also, a reminder that at the end of our inaugural 2024/2025 season, we convened a reflective roundtable conversation with Shawn Michelle Smith, Brenna Wynn Greer, Thy Phu, Darren Newbury, Ileana L. Selejan, and Patricia Hayes. Together, they examined the stakes of photography in our contemporary moment and explored its complex entanglements with power structures and systemic injustice. Read the transcript of the conversation.
