By/For: Photography & Democracy is a collaborative partnership between three photographic historians, Dr Tom Allbeson, Dr Colleen O’Reilly, and Helen Trompeteler. The collective investigates photography’s assumed democratic credentials as an art form and a medium of mass communication. We believe a historical perspective on the complex relationship between photography and democracy is critical to understanding how the medium and related visual technologies can address the social and political issues of our time.
For its inaugural 2024/2025 program, By/For is presenting a six-part series of virtual lectures and accompanying readings with Shawn Michelle Smith, Brenna Wynn Greer, Thy Phu, Darren Newbury, Ileana Selejan, and Patricia Hayes.
