Photography As Activism
School of Visual Arts - New York, New York | October 19 - October 19, 2024
How does sustained attention intersect with photographic activism? When we photograph to raise awareness about issues in the world, attention is an indispensable factor. We purposefully direct our own attention as photographers toward complex subjects, and we make images to warrant the attention of our audiences. Can looking at, seeing, and photographing difficult subjects be a form of activism? Or does our medium beg further social and political engagement from us? How might we use slow methods of photographing, despite the media's pressure to erode and scatter our attention?
In this joint chapter (Northeast & Mid-Atlantic) event, we hope to cut through and between these questions and consider how sustained attention factors into photography's ability to raise consciousness.
