Moderated by Brian Sholis, associate curator of photography at the Cincinnati Art Museum

Featuring Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Jill Magid, and James Nares, and Katherine A. Bussard

This panel will address street photography in the twenty-first century, the topic of an exhibition opening at the Cincinatti Art Museum. At a moment when public discussion of cameras in public spaces revolves around policing and First-Amendment rights, can artists and photographers use photography and film to reveal new facets of the urban environment? Can artworks remind us that urban public places are also home to unequaled creative and imaginative possibilities? Three artists whose work is included in the upcoming exhibition, Philip-Lorca diCorcia,Jill Magid, and James Nares, join Katherine A. Bussard, curator of photography at the Princeton University Art Museum and author of Unfamiliar Streets (Yale, 2014), and Brian Sholis, associate curator of photography at the Cincinnati Art Museum, for a discussion of these and related questions.
