Optics: A New Way of Seeing Contemporary Culture

The first session of our new discussion series focuses on the role of imagery in the #TakeAKnee and Confederate monument controversies. Whether through viral images of NFL players and owners standing together or the material culture of Confederate statues, visual culture is intrinsic to these debates about race, memory, and national identity. Optics series host Jillian Steinhauer leads special guests and audience members through images, examples, and conversation.

This is a free event, but please register in advance. ICP Members have access to preferred seating in our reserved members’ section.
