Recent Histories: Photography 2000-2020

This course examines the changes in photographic practice over the past two decades and considers how they can inspire and enrich students' work. From large-scale color documentary work, to photo conceptualism, experiments with materials and process, and work that engages race and gender identity, the past two decades have presented a panoply of themes and material expressions that have opened doors for artists working with the photographic. Through gallery visits (either in person or virtual), lectures, writing assignments, critique, and discussion, the class explores the terrain of contemporary photography and related media and how students can find their place in it.
