Naomi Rosenblum was one of the leading photography historians of her generation and the author of A World History of Photography and A History of Women Photographers. The 2025-2026 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family. About the SpeakersKennedi Carter (b. 1998), is a digital media based artist, born in Charlottesville, Virginia and raised in Durham, North Carolina. Through archiving & photography, she aims to highlight the aesthetics & sociopolitical aspects of Black life as well as the overlooked beauties of the Black experience: skin, texture, trauma, pleasure, love and community. Her work aims to reinvent notions of creativity and confidence in the realm of Blackness. Her work has been featured in the RISD Museum (2022), the Nasher Museum of art at Duke (2024), Saatchi Gallery (2024), the Harwood Museum of Art (2022), British Vogue Magazine (2020), & Atmos Magazine (2025). Adraint Khadafhi Bereal (b. 1998) is an artist from Waco, Texas, based in New York. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Design and Creative Technologies, Bereal’s work untangles the nuances of American culture by interrogating and provoking truth to reveal itself. Working across photography, design, and publishing, he examines how systems of representation shape identity. His debut monograph, The Black Yearbook, expanded a student project into a national portrait of Black collegiate life, revealing the emotional and aesthetic vocabularies of a generation navigating visibility and belonging.Bereal’s work is held in the permanent collection of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and has been exhibited nationally. His upcoming solo exhibition at the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas at Austin marks a return to the institution where his practice first took root.Header image by Kennedi Carter
