Join us for a conversation with Dr. C. Riley Snorton, assistant professor of Africana Studies and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Cornell University. Dr. Snorton will address how photographs and archives can erase or make visible bodies and identities. His work looks specifically at the intersection of archives, #translivesmatter, and #blacklivesmatter.

This is a free event, but please register in advance. ICP Members have access to the best seats at our public programs in our reserved members’ section.
