On 17 August at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam, various experts will discuss Gordon Parks’ use of photography as a weapon against poverty, racism and social inequality.
The conditions under which Parks’ photography, literature and films originated offer a basis for discussing current social matters on emancipation and representation of black identity in photography. During the event Weapon of Choice: Photography and Black Representation, Gordon Parks´ influence as a storyteller and his role in breaking new ground for African American artists will be discussed.
Art historian, curator and professor Deborah Willis is the keynote speaker of the programme. She will give an historical overview of black representation in photography with an emphasis on the work of Gordon Parks. The following guests will contribute to the event:
The evening will begin and end with music by Lion Kojo.
The exhibition Gordon Parks - I Am You. Selected Works 1942-1978 is made possible with support from the American Embassy and the Democracy and Media Foundation. With special thanks to The Gordon Parks Foundation.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, Delta Lloyd, the City of Amsterdam, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
