JEB will discuss the trajectory of her work from the 1970s to the present day and the ever-present intersection of politics and art making.This program is being offered both in person at ICP, located on NYC's Lower East Side, and online. Current ICP students and faculty of the One-Year Certificate programs are automatically enrolled and invited to attend all lectures. About the SeriesThe 2025-2026 Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer Lecture Series is made possible through generous support from the Rosenblum Family.ICP is thrilled to honor Naomi Rosenblum’s contribution to the field and to further her life’s work through this lecture series. 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 SpeakersJEB (Joan E. Biren) has been influential within LGBTQI+ communities and the wider public by actively challenging the representation of lesbians, the way that we understand photographic history, and how we speak about image-making. Her first book, Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians, originally published in 1979, was reissued in 2021 by Anthology Editions. JEB’s second book, Making a Way: Lesbians Out Front was reissued in July 2025. The Dyke Show, described as “an astounding compendium of lesbian imagery and ideas,” was restored and digitized with a new live narration by JEB in 2023. This year it has been presented at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the National Museum of American History of the Smithsonian, and Le Bal in Paris.In the 1970s, JEB was part of two lesbian collectives: The Furies, which produced an historic newspaper and Moonforce Media, which distributed feminist films from 1975 to 1980. In the early 1990s, JEB transitioned from making photographic stills and slideshows to filmmaking. Her award-winning films on LGBTQI+ history are available through Frameline distribution. JEB’s photographic work is represented in many collections including the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and the Academy of Arts in Berlin, Germany. JEB, now 81 years old, lives surrounded by chosen family and occasionally tries to retire from photography and filmmaking. Her plan is never to retire from social justice activism. © (JEB) Joan E.

Celebrate the opening of Jon Henry: Stranger Fruit, the newest exhibition in ICP’s free ground floor Incubator Space during Thursday’s Late Night hours. ICP faculty member and photographer Jon Henry will be present for brief remarks and to sign copies of his photobook, Stranger Fruit, now in its second edition published by KGP Monolith. Jon Henry’s Stranger Fruit is a response to the epidemic of police killings of Black men—his answer to the question “Who is next? Me? My brother? My friends? How do we protect these men?” For several years, Henry traveled around the United States photographing Black mothers holding their sons in poses reminiscent of Renaissance paintings of the Virgin Mary cradling Jesus following the crucifixion, as well as the mothers alone. The project also includes writing by the mothers expressing their understanding that while they have not lost their sons, it is an ever-present possibility. Portrayed alone, the portraits reflect that potential absence and how, as Henry puts it, when “the protesters have gone home and the news cameras gone, it is the mother left. Left to mourn, to survive.” Stranger Fruit was published as a book in 2022 and has been previously exhibited, but for this installation Henry went back into his archives, pulling together documents, maps, and other ephemera that trace the creation of the project. A generous act of transparency, this presentation allows visitors to see the creative and administrative work that goes into developing a long-term project. About the ICP Incubator SpaceICP’s Incubator Space is a new exhibition program designed to highlight the work of emerging photographers who are responding in real time to the world around us. ICP will present a rotating selection of projects by imagemakers experimenting with and pushing boundaries around the documentary tradition. The space is free and open to the public during café and museum hours. About the Artist Jon Henry is a visual artist working with photography and text, from Queens NY (resides in Brooklyn).

Explore photobooks from the ICP Library and connect with fellow photobook enthusiasts at ICP's Photobook Club. Each month, browse hand-picked selections from special guests and ICP community members. This month, explore selections from artists Geraldine Barón and Naima Green whose exhibition Instead, I spin fantasies, is on view through January 12. Both Barón and Green will be present at Photobook Club from 11 AM - 12 PM for informal browsing and conversation. Following the community meet-up, join us in the ICP galleries at 3 PM for a special presentation of Rehearsal for a Family, a reading, performance, and exhibition series that reimagines notions of kinship, family, and belonging. About the speakers Geraldine Barón is an Argentine writer, artist, and filmmaker living and working between New York City and Buenos Aires. Her practice spans photography, video, writing, and curation, and explores the construct of family as a field of study, focusing on the relationships between image and text, rehearsal and performance. Her process is open and reciprocal: the act of making work becomes inseparable from the act of making family itself. For the past eighteen years, Geraldine has been working on an ongoing series titled Rehearsal for a Family, comprising photographs and texts that explore family-making and its constitutive elements of intimacy, queerness, language, labor, and storytelling. Her writing traverses the material and porous expanse between Spanish and English, moving through the spaces of translation, placelessness, and belonging. Since 2023, she has hosted a bilingual series of readings, performances, and exhibitions—also titled Rehearsal for a Family. Geraldine holds a BA in Comparative Literature and French & Francophone Studies from UCLA, and an MFA in Film Directing and Screenwriting from Columbia University. She is an alumna of the Artists Program at the Centro de Investigaciones Artísticas and the Cinema Lab at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Her photography has been exhibited in both the U.S. and Argentina, and her writing has appeared in publications such as A Magazine Curated By. Her films have screened at festivals internationally, and her film Hotel Y received Best Director Award from INCAA. She is currently working on a film drawing from her casting practice and investigating the relationship between performance, identity, and reproductive labor.Naima Green is an artist and educator who pictures individuals and communities to document their vibrant relationships to place and pleasure. She engages with various photographic forms, sound, and experimental film. Throughout her collaborative practice, Green accesses and prioritizes the nature of intimacy, safety, and self-recognition. Often working in lush and watery environments, she presents windows into multidimensional experiences of seawater and its pathways: beauty, buoyancy, overwhelm, and submersion. Oral and written histories are critical to her process; by synthesizing archival research with outreach and conversation with current sitters, she frames picture-making as a continuum and her still images as kinetic, living histories.

An afternoon of readings centered on desire and parenthood, love and loss, family and intimacy. Join us in Naima Green’s exhibition Instead, I spin fantasies with Geraldine Barón, Sylvia Gorelick, and Naima Green for a special presentation of Rehearsal for a Family: a reading, performance, and exhibition series that reimagines notions of kinship, family, and belonging.Before the program, explore a selection of books inspired by the exhibition from Naima Green and Geraldine Barón in the ICP library during ICP Photobook Club.Readers for this program include:Asiya WadudAngel NafisDesiree C. BaileyGauri AwasthiNaima GreenGeraldine Barón* Incantations read by Sylvia GorelickAbout Rehearsal for a FamilyRehearsal for a Family is a reading, performance, and exhibition series that reimagines notions of kinship, family, and belonging. Assembling artists, poets, playwrights, dancers, parents, and children within domestic and cultural spaces between New York City and Buenos Aires, the series invites participants to share new or in-progress work, in both English and Spanish. This series enacts a practice of assembly and queer family-making, politicizing the often-invisible and historically feminized space of the home. In an ongoing commitment to rehearsing transformative constellations of care, family, and poetics, this series gets to the heart of social poiesis, asking: how can we assemble differently amid the ongoing crises, genocides, and atrocities of late capitalism? How might we relate anew and imagine making life otherwise?Rehearsal for a Family is situated in the feminist tradition of breaking down the divide between private and public, putting a new sociality into practice—one that honors the expansive creative force of making life, making art, and making community. In this spirit, the host or visiting artist at each reading prepares a communal meal to provide care and foster connection between all who are gathered.Co-organized by Geraldine Barón and Sylvia Gorelick, the reading series has featured artists and collaborators including Alexis Almeida, Mirene Arsanios, Gauri Awasthi, Lorenzo Bueno, Corina Copp, Denise Groesman, Benjamin Krusling, Laura Henriksen, Agostina Luz Lopez, Lucía Reissig, Florencia Vecino, and Morgan Võ, Simone White, Lila Zemborain, among others.Through collective praxis, rehearsal, and determined nonarrival, Rehearsal for a Family works to undermine the capitalist structures that rely on the exploitation of social reproductive labor. The series privileges the ephemeral, the domestic, the marginal, the daily, the unfinished, the small, the queer, the precise material that nurtures desire and makes life, again and again.About the SpeakersGeraldine Barón is an Argentine writer, artist, and filmmaker living and working between New York City and Buenos Aires.
