Date:
In this session, curator Makeda Best will talk with Washington, D.C.–based photographer and artist Larry Cook. They will discuss Cook’s socially critical work, which engages issues of black masculinity, black culture, racial stereotypes, and carceral aesthetics in the American imaginary. As part of this conversation, Best and Cook will also consider a selection of related works in the Harvard Art Museums photography collection.
Cook was recently awarded a grant from the Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) for his work exploring themes of racial justice.
