What characteristics define a contemporary American? Amid an increasingly polarized political and cultural landscape, photographer Richard Sharum
This event has ended.
What characteristics define a contemporary American? Amid an increasingly polarized political and cultural landscape, photographer Richard Sharum traveled across America’s “spine” to suss out the common threads and seemingly insurmountable disparities of a fractured nation.
For three years, Sharum traversed a lengthy stretch between the Canadian and Mexican borders. From North Dakota to Kansas to Texas, he documented the lives of more than 4,000 people in 14,000-plus images, creating a snapshot of a region that’s historically been overlooked. “I knew that in order for me to find out what America is, I needed to travel its central corridor and see it for myself,” he said.
Please join us for an exclusive talk, where Richard will discuss his trilogy of projects concerning the contemporary United States. The entire series is titled Of Thee I Sing, and is composed of Spina Americana (vol 1), American Homicide (vol 2), and American Avenue (vol 3).
When: Thursday, March 6th 6PM-7PM
Where: The Salon
