Body Images launch and reading
Jacob Lindgren @ 2024-07-22 14:56:03 -0500Launching this Saturday with a reading from 7-9pm 📒📸 Body Images: Photography, Technology, and Beauty Culture by Liz Barr 📳 exploring how photography, editing, and publishing technologies have influenced beauty culture from 1839 through the present day.
"From the manual retouching processes of the 19th century to the instantaneous beauty filters of the 21st century, how has photo-editing shaped the way we see ourselves and each other? Do manipulated photos warp our perception of reality? Do un-manipulated photos exist? Has the ubiquity of digital photography and publishing platforms exacerbated our insecurities, or helped to expand our ideas of beauty? Body Images grapples with these questions while providing historical context to our contemporary anxieties."
Readings by @lizbarrrr, @solemnburger & @adgzines ✨🧃 light refreshments will be provided 😷 masks are required (while not actively eating or drinking), and there will be air purifiers in the space
