Flashpoint! Conversation with Olga Yatskevich, Russet Lederman and Lesley A. Martin
Talk
January 21 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
Join us for a conversation between Olga Yatskevich, Russet Lederman and Lesley A. Martin on occasion of the release of Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print, 1950-Present, a new anthology from 10×10 Photobooks.
The past seventy-five years have been a time of extreme social and cultural transformations worldwide. Political and social upheaval, often contentious, disorienting and polarizing, is now a daily reality. We live in a world rife with ideological and tribal conflicts. Since its inception, photography has captured defining historical moments, serving as either a tool or a document of protest—or both. Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print, 1950-Present, does a deep dive into protest photography in print through a global selection of photobooks, zines, posters, pamphlets, independent journals and alternative newspapers.
