Inspired by the book Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present by Deborah Willis, this history of African American photography focuses on the camera as a tool for social change. A community of photographers and artists, including Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, Anthony Barboza, Hank Willis Thomas, and Lyle Ashton Harris, poetically reconcile legacies of pride with long-suppressed images.
Mr. Harris, Mr. Perry, and Prof. Thulin will introduce the film and be present for a discussion and Q&A afterwards.
