Working with an accumulation of more than 600 photographs, each entry breaks apart photography’s “single creator” tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration: the various relationships, exchanges, and interactions that occur between all participants in the making of any photograph and in the shaping, undoing, and transforming of archives. Books will be on sale at this event.The exhibition Collaboration is curated by Columbia College Chicago Photo Social Practice students under the mentorship of Ewald and Meiselas in response to the new publication.This event is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, committed to building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world. More information at macfound.org.
