Hyperlocal Storytelling in the Time of Pandemic with Ed Kashi

Telling the stories around you has always been a powerful and intimate aspect of documentary and journalistic work, but during the time of pandemic, when we are more likely locked down and even quarantined, where travel is either impossible or quite difficult, to hone your skills and awareness of the stories in your home, neighborhood, city, community or state, is not only valuable but imperative. This lecture will reflect upon the stories Ed Kashi has told in the course of his career and how he’s managed to continue to work during the pandemic by focusing on hyper-local stories of national and global significance.
