Join the International Center of Photography (New York, NY) online from March 29 to April 2 as photographers and industry leaders examine how the events of 2020 are shaping the future of imagemaking. ICP’s weeklong event series The Rules are Broken: A Year in Imagemaking, focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic, photography and social movements, the reckoning of a year lived through screens, the role of photobooks and place-making, and how the last year has transformed our lives and the industry.
The Rules are Broken features a keynote lecture by artist and curator Deborah Willis (MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellow; New York University) on her new book, The Black Civil War Soldier: Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship, on Friday, April 2 at 1pm (EDT). Willis will speak to the importance of images in (re)telling stories of resilience and collective struggle and how remembrance can inform our present positions, encouraging us to write new ways to envision fresh utopias for the future of photography.
