From Hine to Strauss: Photographic Visions of Charity, Commons, a Safety-Net-in-the-Making & the Aftermath of Its Unmaking

Please join us for a walkthrough of ICP's Zoe Strauss and Lewis Hine exhibitions led by noted photo historian Sally Stein. The talk will focus on the depictions of poverty, labor, and charity in two photographic documents of American life, Hine in the early 20th century and Strauss in the first decade of the 21st.

Sally Stein is professor emerita in the Department of Art History at the University of California Irvine. Her focus is on 20th-century photography and its relation to culture and society, including the multiple effects of documentary imagery, the politics of gender, and the status and meaning of black-and-white and color imagery on our perceptions, beliefs, and actions as consumers of ideas, images, and things.
