Aperture Foundation, The Photography Department in the School of Art, Media and Technology at Parsons, and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School will present an exciting panel discussion Contemporary Documentary Practices as part of the Confounding Expectations: Photography in Context. This talk will take place at the New School’s Tischman Auditorium and brings together photographers LaToya Ruby Frazier, Michael Wolf, Chris Verene and moderater Susan Bright. Revisiting Martha Rosler’s In, Around and Afterthoughts (on Documentary Photography), the panel will use this seminal text published by Rosler in 1981, as a launching point from which to discuss contemporary photographic practices and art strategies. The discussion will examine the medium of photography’s ability to foster social and political engagement today.
