A Photography Department and School of Art event

Pratt’s School of Art (SoART) and Pratt Photography are proud to present a special evening with social documentary photographers Radcliffe “Ruddy” Roye and Jamel Shabazz in conversation with author and curator Sarah Lewis. The discussion, the second lecture in the annual School of Art (SoART) Lecture Series, will revolve around representation and community.
