- Photograph as Gesture into Time: Past, Present, Future

Catalog description

This is an upper-level photography course that asks students to consider the photograph as a disruptive force with potential energy for re-imagining the relationship to self, history, document, and time. Using a specifically BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color), feminist, and queer representation of artists and theorists, students will be asked to critically engage with the issues and possibilities of non-dominant stories and documents. Students will be encouraged and supported to find their own empowered, creative, and critical voice to speak back to traditionally white hetero-patriarchal power. Students will use digital cameras (DSLRs) to capture both still images and video. Students will further their knowledge of Lightroom, Photoshop, and learn the basics of Adobe Premiere.
