"(re)vision"

The camera, like many things, is what one makes of it. For example, the language around it— the verbs, the actions and the roles we set of those who engage with it or are engaged by it— defines those with agency and those from whom agency is removed. In her presentation, multi-media artist Alia Ali will be redefining the roles we play as photographers, subjects, and collectors. She will be sharing her experiences as well as photographic tips of how she continually strives to strike a balance of power among the various roles engaged in the making of a photograph. Join us in revising the art of photography and its power to create more socially engaged, accessible and powerful narratives through our various lenses.
