About the Series
ICP Talks is ICP’s Photographer’s lecture series sponsored by MPB.

Past speakers include Jess T. Dugan, Jeff Wall, Smita Sharma, Hassan Hajjaj, Joshua Rashaad McFadden, and more. The Fall season takes place online and in-person from September through December and features Guadalupe Rosales, Farah Al-Qasimi, Marvin Heiferman, and Laylah Barrayn.
Current ICP students and faculty of the One-Year Certificate programs are automatically enrolled.
