Please join us on Saturday, September 21 at 11 AM for a conversation between photographer Mitch Epstein and Drew Sawyer, Curator of Photography at the Brooklyn Museum. Epstein will be discussing his newest series, Property Rights, his work practice, and the diverse narratives behind his photographs.
“Epstein commemorates activists protecting their land during a snowy vigil on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, in North Dakota, and reveals the spartan conditions in a refugee halfway house in El Paso, Texas. Last year, he photographed the high-school student and Sunrise Movement leader Ashton Clatterbuck (above) in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, secured to a tree with a homemade tool of resistance.”
