Aperture Conversations: Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa and Tina Campt

Aperture Foundation, in collaboration with the Photography Program at Parsons School of Design of The New School, is pleased to present a conversation between artist Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa and scholar Tina Campt. Join us for a night discussing One Wall a Web, Wolukau-Wanambwa’s first monograph, which recently won the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Prize. One Wall a Web consists of three chapters comprising two bodies of work. The book interweaves Wolukau-Wanambwa’s own photographs, a sequence of archival images, and two text collages, which together confront the normality of racist, classed, and gendered violence in American life.

Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa is a photographer and writer who has contributed essays to publications by Vanessa Winship, George Georgiou, Rosalind Fox Solomon, Marton Perlaki, and Paul Graham. He has been an artist in residence at Light Work, guest edited Aperture’s PhotoBook Review, and written for Aperture, Foam, the Barbican, The Photographers’ Gallery, and Rutgers University Press. His debut monograph, One Wall a Web, was published by ROMA Publications in 2018. He has lectured at Yale, Cornell, New York University, and The New School.

Tina Campt is Claire Tow and Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Africana and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College–Columbia University. She is the author of three books: Other Germans: Black Germans and the Politics of Race, Gender, and Memory in the Third Reich (2004), Image Matters: Archive, Photography, and the African Diaspora in Europe (2012), and Listening to Images (2017). She is the 2018–19 Abigail R. Cohen Fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris, and Research Associate at the Visual Identities in Art and Design Research Centre at the University of Johannesburg.
