SEPTEMBER 30, 2021, 10AM–7PM

This virtual symposium brought together leading experts in media arts from across the country to explore themes of representation, image making, identity, and creative practice.

Convening fosters an open dialogue among artists, scholars and activists on media born artistic practices. It explored the innovative practices and critical perspectives of photographers, filmmakers, printmakers and writers drawn from the long and dynamic history of media and art, through themes of history, representation, evidence, the archive, image making, identity, practice and presence. The program featured keynote speakers and panel discussions organized by leading practitioners and moderated by noted photographer Sean Alonzo Harris.
