Class Description

Description

Since its inception, women have played vital roles in photography, working alongside renowned pioneers as printers, image-makers, technicians, and entrepreneurs. From photo books and surrealism to collage, cameraless photography, and contemporary art, women have used the medium as a tool for expression, survival, and business. Yet, history often relegated these practitioners to the margins or erased them entirely.

Widening the Lens seeks to reimagine photographic history and contemporary discourse to more accurately reflect the diverse range of practitioners who have been overlooked or excluded. Through weekly lectures designed to inspire and engage, alongside short readings for deeper exploration, participants will delve into critical discussions, foster lively conversations, and build meaningful connections.

By the end of this course, participants will develop a richer understanding of photography, an expanded vocabulary for discussing the medium, and a greater awareness of its historical and representational significance.

This course welcomes participants of all backgrounds and levels of experience.
