Join us each month for a gallery conversation in Through the Lens: American Photographs from the Carter Collection. We’ll spend time with a small selection of works that connect to one of the four thematic sections of the exhibition. We’ll use the slow-looking process—an approach that allows for learning and discovery through extended observation time and conversation.

Themes:

Apr 30: Land, Nature, Territory—featuring works by Ansel Adams, Terry Evans, Laura Gilpin, and Eliot Porter

May 28: People—featuring works by Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Martine Gutierrez, Gordon Parks, Alec Soth, and Carrie Mae Weems

Jun 25: Big City, Small Town—featuring works by Barbara Crane, Christina Fernandez, Robert Frank, Arthur Rothstein, and Garry Winogrand

Jul 30: History—features works by Dawoud Bey, An-My Lê, Carl Mydans, and Sarah Sense.
