Event Description

Watch a documentary film featuring contemporary, ground-breaking Black women photographers, directed by Crystal Whaley. 

The film reveals the history and struggle of Black women photographers while celebrating their work and answering the question: 

What happens when a female black photographer exercises agency and control to reverse the gaze, allowing the world to be seen through her unique lens? 

The featured photographers challenge the status quo by collectively redefining the narrative, image by image.
