During the 1970s and ’80s, several artists published important histories highlighting the wealth of African American artistry that had been overlooked. Two landmark publications—Viewfinders: Black Women Photographers by Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe and Black Photographers, 1840 to 1940: An Illustrated Bio-Bibliography by Deborah Willis—greatly contributed to the development of the field of photographic history. This conversation brings the two luminaries together to discuss their dual roles as artists and historians.

For in-person attendees, a reception follows the program.
