Tickets to attend the program are $5 and include access to ICP’s galleries.
The Judith Center in collaboration with ICP and Magnum Foundation presents Beyond Violence, a two-part lecture by renowned Ukrainian curator Kateryna Radchenko.
Radchenko will explore the historical uses of photography—largely as a tool of domination by authoritarian regimes or as a means of witnessing and recording violence—and point towards new possibilities for the medium during these times. Following the lecture, Radchenko will be joined in a conversation with Cynthia Young, Director of the Robert Capa and Cornell Capa Archive at ICP, moderated by Kathryn Andrews, artist and Founder and Director of The Judith Center.
About The Judith Center
The Judith Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California. In the United States, sexual discrimination is a systemic issue. At The Judith Center, we believe current efforts to combat this suffer from siloed thinking. Our mission is to advocate nationally for gender equality through interdisciplinary actions. We organize art commissions, exhibitions, talks, and events in collaboration with activists, scientists, artists, and politicians. We partner with university art museums and nonprofits to present our programming to a range of audiences. Our projects respond to critical contemporary situations and unearth the histories that have shaped them. We are impact-focused. We measure success through audience expansion, the creation of new forms of data, increasing opportunities for artists, and influence on policy.
