Photography, History, and Systems of Power

Join us for a conversation looking back at the origins of photography–how it has been used as a tool of colonialism, and how this legacy still appears today, both culturally and institutionally.

We will speak with writers, historians, and photographers who use their work to examine visual culture by reckoning with systems of power and representation in the medium’s history, in order to ask what lessons we might take away for the future.
