Lecture in Photography: Carla Williams
600 S. Michigan Ave. – Ferguson Lecture HallAbout The Event
Please join MoCP and friends for a Lecture in Photography with Carla Williams.
Carla Williams (American, b. 1965) is a photographer and curator known for her explorations of identity, race, gender, and representation. In her early work in the 1980s, she used a large-format camera to explore her own image, in work that reflected the lack of visibility of Black women in photographic history. Williams is the co-author of The Black Female Body: A Photographic History (2002) with Deborah Willis. She served as a curator of photography at the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and was a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Lectures in Photography is co-sponsored by MoCP and School of Visual Arts at Columbia College Chicago.
