Join us at ICP for a conversation with Bruce Gilden around the release of his latest monograph, 8 Days in Napoli. Gilden will be joined in conversation by Michael Foley, Director at Leica Gallery, followed by a signing in the ICP Shop.Tickets to attend the conversation in person are $5. 8 Days in Napoli is available to purchase in the ICP shop.About the BookA look at the people of the Italian city of Napoli through the lens of renowned Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden. Through black and white and color photography, Gilden spends eight days and nights prowling the city's streets, looking for informal portrait opportunities. Up close and detailed, Gilden's approach reveals the character and characters, their faces illuminated by flash in an honest portrayal of our humanity. In a time when we do our best to maintain and control our appearance, Gilden reveals our authentic selves with no excuses for his sincere and direct approach to street portraiture.This project was commissioned and published by Leica Camera USA. Bruce Gilden, an Iconic street photographer with a unique style, was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1946. He first went to Penn State University but he found his sociology courses too boring for his temperament and he quit college. Gilden briefly toyed with the idea of being an actor but in 1967, he decided to buy a camera and to become a photographer. Although he did attend some evening classes at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Bruce Gilden is to be considered substantially a self-taught photographer. The photographic style of Bruce Gilden is defined by the dynamic accent of his pictures, his special graphic qualities, and his original and direct manner of shooting the faces of passers-by with a flash. Gilden’s powerful images in black and white and now in color have brought the Magnum photographer worldwide fame. Gilden has received many awards and grants for his work, including National Endowments for the Arts fellowships (1980, 1984 and 1992), French “Villa Medicis Hors les Murs” grant (1995), grants from the New York State Foundation for the Arts ( 1979, 1992 and 2000), a Japan Foundation Artist Fellowship (1999) and in 2013 a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship. Gilden joined Magnum Photos in 1998. He lives in Beacon, New York.Michael Foley opened his eponymous gallery in the fall of 2004 after fourteen years of working with notable photography galleries, including Fraenkel Gallery, Howard Greenberg Gallery, and Yancey Richardson Gallery. In 2002, Foley continued his interest in educating and working with artists by serving on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts, Fashion Institute of Technology, and International Center of Photography, where he teaches and lectures on contemporary photography issues at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He joined Leica in 2023 as the Gallery Director of the New York Meatpacking Store & Gallery. Foley lives in Manhattan with his wife, Maya, and son, Jack. Image by Bruce Gilden

Join us at ICP for the first installment of the spring Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Photographer lecture series featuring renowned documentary photographer and activist Donna Ferrato. Ferrato will discuss the trajectory of her work from the 1970s to the present day and be joined in conversation by ICP Creative Director David Campany.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.Past speakers of the Naomi Rosenblum ICP Talks Lecture series include: JEB, Philip Cheung, Edwaard Burtynsky, Naima Green, David Alekhuogie, Keisha Scarville, Johnny Miller, and Erin Schaff.About the SeriesICP 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 SpeakersDonna Ferrato is a celebrated documentary photographer and activist known for her fearless work confronting domestic violence and championing human rights. Her life’s mission began in the 1980s when, during an assignment, she witnessed a man violently assault his partner. In that moment, she raised her camera—not only to capture the truth, but to stop the violence. That photograph launched a decades-long commitment to expose the hidden abuse behind closed doors.Her landmark book, Living With The Enemy (Aperture), ignited international awareness and outrage, breaking taboos around domestic abuse and giving voice to survivors. Her more recent work, Holy (powerHouse Books, 2020), honors individuals who fight for dignity, freedom, and equality in the face of injustice. In 2021, Ferrato received a grant from the NYC Mayor’s Office to End Gender-Based Violence to create art addressing the criminalization of survivors. The result, The Wall of Silence, stood in the shadow of New York’s highest courts—an immersive public installation that became both protest and sanctuary. It resonated deeply during the 2023 self-defense trial of Tracy McCarter, contributing to a broader movement for justice.Ferrato’s work has earned numerous prestigious accolades, including the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Outstanding Coverage of the Disadvantaged, the Courage in Journalism Award from the IWMF, and the Missouri Medal of Honor for Distinguished Service in Journalism. In 2008, New York City declared October 30th “Donna Ferrato Appreciation Day,” and in 2025, she received an honorary doctorate from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her photographs are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Library of Congress. Her work lives everywhere. Ferrato is represented by the Daniel Cooney Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Dr. Ferrato thrives in New York City. She is a featured member of with Two By Two Media, a nonprofit platform founded by photographer Gigi Stoll to support and celebrate the work of female artists over the age of 70.She is represented by the Daniel Cooney Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Daria Bonera Agency in Europe, and Gigi Stoll, Two by Two Media in New York.David Campany is Creative Director of the International Center of Photography, New York.
