The Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series Presents: Shala Miller with Ebony L. Haynes

Join us at ICP for the premiere of the Fall 2023 Naomi Rosenbaum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series, featuring multi-disciplinary artist, vocalist, writer, and ICP faculty member Shala Miller in conversation with writer and curator Ebony L. Haynes. Shala will discuss the role performance, writing, music, and collaboration plays in making work that explores your own identity and history as well as recent book and exhibition projects. 

This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC’s Lower East Side, and online. Tickets to attend the conversation in person are $5 and do not include access to ICP’s galleries. Online tickets are available for free. 

About the Series 

The Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer’s Lecture Series presents one-hour live events featuring scholars and curators in conversation with renowned photographers who champion social change through photography, employ exciting alternative and emerging practices, or ask critical questions about the form.

Haynes (9/12/23), Cara Romero (10/11/2023), Sunil Gupta with Gayatri Gopinath (10/17/2023) and Muriel Hasbun with Susan Meiselas (11/28/2023).

The 2023-2024 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family.  

Shala Miller, (b. 1993, Cleveland, OH) also known as Freddie June when she sings, was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio by two southerners named Al and Ruby. At around the age of 10 or 11, Miller discovered quietude, the kind you’re sort of pushed into, and then was fooled into thinking that this is where she should stay put. Since then, Miller has been trying to find her way out, and find her way into an understanding of herself and her history, using photography, video, writing and singing as an aid in this process. Miller’s work in photography and film meditates on the intersection of desire, mourning, pain, and pleasure. Taking up skin as a site of history and intimacy with the self and across generations, they hold space for the body’s vulnerabilities and maladies.  

Ebony L. Haynes is a writer and curator from Toronto, Canada. She is presently based in New York where she is Senior Director at David Zwirner and leads the gallery’s 52 Walker space in Tribeca. Haynes is responsible for many critically acclaimed exhibitions such as Kandis Williams: A Line, epigenetic, Tiona Nekkia McClodden: MASK / CONCEAL / CARRY, Invisible Man, EBSPLOITATION, and The Worst Witch. Haynes was the 2022 curator for the inaugural Fine Arts MFA exhibition for first-year students at The Rhode Island School of Design, Providence. She has previously held positions as visiting curator and critic at the Yale School of Art in the Painting and Printmaking program, as well as director at Martos Gallery, New York, and Shoot The Lobster, New York and Los Angeles. Haynes sits on the boards of Artists Space, New York, the New Art Dealers Alliance, and Cassandra Press. She has participated in numerous public talks and symposiums at various institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and has contributed her writing to multiple catalogues and publications. She also runs Black Art Sessions, an online “school” that offers free professional practice classes to Black students worldwide.
