Tuesdays, September 6–October 4, 2016, 6–7:30 p.m.
Phyllis Wattis Theater, SFMOMA
The visual images we see everyday shape our imagination and understanding of the world. From its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to its ubiquity in our media-saturated present, photography has generated important artistic and scientific knowledge, and has profoundly impacted people’s personal and political lives. Through a series of talks and conversations with curators, artists, and scientists, participants will think more deeply about the evolution and practice of photography. Join us to reflect on the power of the photograph to preserve memory, create change, make discoveries, and inspire wonder.
