Monsen Photography Lecture
Thurs., February 18, 5 p.m. (PST) via Zoom

The Henry is delighted to welcome Deborah Willis as a Monsen Photography Lecture speaker. Named after Dr. Elaine Monsen, this lecture series brings key makers and thinkers in photographic practice to the Henry.

Willis will draw upon her prolific career as a photographer and a scholar of the history of photography in her presentation, "Staying Engaged: Social Protest, Migrations, and Responses in Art," where she will address how we stay engaged in contemporary social protest and justice movements through photography. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with Sylvia Wolf, John S. Behnke Director of the Henry.

Deborah Willis, PhD, is a university professor and chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and is the author of The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship and Posing Beauty: African American Images from the 1890s to the Present, among other publications.
