Happy to participate once again in the ICP Photobook Fest on May 12-14, 2023 at the International Center of Photography’s location at 79 Essex Street, New York, NY 10002.
The 2023 ICP Photobook Fest includes 50 publishers spanning ICP’s galleries as well as a weekend of programming and book signings.
An article that I wrote with Limor Pinhasi-Vittorio of Lehman College, describing a workshop we did with undergraduate first-generation students, is included in the book Using Innovative Literacies to Develop Leadership and Agency: Inspiring Transformation and Hope.
The workshop integrated photography and literacy, creating an imaginative space where students could develop visual and critical literacy. The article provides an overview of the methods used, the various interactions that occurred during the workshop, and the gradual build-up of a community. It presents a new model of learning, thinking, and leadership that can be implemented in various settings.
In celebration of Women’s History Month

BEING THERE grew out of my collaboration with three artists who have experienced homelessness for the photography project Still Lives. After four years of deep conversations, joint efforts and brainstorming, Maaji Newbold, Marcus Moore, Mike Deegan, and myself received a grant from LMCC to present our collaboration as part of the Uptown Arts Stroll. The project includes a visual art exhibition and a series of live performance and video screenings accompanied by public talks.
June 1-30, 2022 at Buunni Inwood, 4961 Broadway, New York, NY.
