Black Women Photographers DC x Live! at The Library

Join us for a meet-up at Live! At the Library: Women in Photography, Stories from the Not an Ostrich Exhibition.

Photojournalist Sharon Farmer, the first woman and the first African American to be Director of the White House Photography office, and Anne Tucker, curator emerita at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, will share stories about women photographers and their own work with the Library’s exhibition “Not an Ostrich: And Other Images from America’s Library.” After the program, you can visit the exhibit with the speakers.

The exhibition of close to 400 photographs was organized by the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles and drawn from the collections of the Library of Congress. "Not an Ostrich" presents a taste of the Library’s spectacular holdings of more than 14 million photographs. Selected images reproduced for this exhibition were made between 1839 and today.

We will meet at The Library of Congress to view the exhibition and stay for the conversation.
