Photoville 2019 Talks On-demand recordings are made possible in partnership with PhotoWIngs with additional support by the Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation
In 1966, the late Gordon Parks described his camera as a “weapon” against racism, poverty, and injustice. Over 50 years later, photographers and writers Ruddy Roye and Travon Free discuss how and why their cameras are not only an important weapon in modern storytelling, but by demonstrating their work, they will explain why it’s critical to the landscape of photography for black and marginalized people to be the ones telling these stories.
