SUMMARY:Lecture:  Pictures and Progress:  Black Liberation in American Photography
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Churchill\, PhD\, is adjunct professor of Visual & Performing Arts at Fairfield University. On February 12 at 5:30\, join an intimate crowd in the Wien Experimental Theater for an exploration of the role photography has played in Black politics\, identity\, and civil rights. Her talk is being presented in conjunction with the exhibition For Which It Stands… (January 23-July 25\, 2026).\nHer talk will also be livestreamed.  \nAbout the Exhibition: This exhibition examines depictions of the American flag through 70+ works by a diverse group of artists\, beginning during WWI with Childe Hassam’s Italian Day\, May 1918 and continuing to the present day\, including a textile sculpture commissioned for the show from Maria de Los Angeles. The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns\, Faith Ringgold\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Shepard Fairey\, and Julie Mehretu\, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all.\nFor Which it Stands… forms part of America250: The Promise and Paradox\, an initiative through which Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment.  \nImage: Dread Scott\, Emancipation Proclamation\, 2020\, pigment print.
