Creating Images with Impact with Pete Coco
Book Signing: Linda Foard Roberts - 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Linda Foard Roberts’ work is deeply personal, rooted in memory, family and local histories, combined with philosophical inquiries about life, death, and basic human rights. Using 8" x 10" and 5" x 7" cameras and preferring the imperfections of old lenses and the history that is untold within them, her work is metaphorical and layered, intending to cross language and cultural barriers.
In 2020 Roberts received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography. In 2016 Roberts completed her first monograph, PASSAGE, published by Radius Books, debuting at Paris Photo with signings at AIPAD in New York and Hauser and Wirth. In 2017 she was the honored guest speaker at the Visionary Women's presentation which historically inspires and supports strong women.
Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally including Australia, Guatemala, Argentina, and Germany. She is represented by SOCO Gallery in Charlotte, North Carolina and Sol del RIO in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Roberts lives and works in Charlotte, North Carolina
Photobook Dummies Meetup - 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Photobook Dummies is a monthly gathering where collectors, creators, and enthusiasts of photobooks come together to survey this unique art form. We explore a different theme each month, with attendees bringing books from their collections to share and discuss. Our meetups are held in various revolving locations across Durham and Orange County. While many attendees are photographers, anyone with an appreciation for or curiosity about photobooks is welcome to attend.
For this meetup, Photobook Dummies follows the prompt: “Somewhere Along the Line” Inspired by Joshua Dudley Greer’s Somewhere Along the Line (2019, Kehrer Verlag), our October meetup will celebrate those who slowly and deliberately dwell within the spaces they inhabit.
Orange County photographer @insta.holden.richards will share some insights and prints from his book “Riverwalk: A Decade Along the Eno.”
Photo Conversations: LOOKING INWARD: Conversations Between Our Images and Ourselves 5:30pm - 6:30pm
Jenny Jacklin Statton & Sarah Blesener
sponsored by Photo Farm
What do our images reveal about how we see? How does our relationship with certain images shift over time? And how might photography become a space for self reflection, understanding, and deeper connection with others?
This one-hour interactive session, led by photographers and visual researchers Sarah Blesener and Jenny Jacklin Stratton, invites participants to bring a print or digital photograph (or two)—from their professional work, personal life, or family archive—as a starting point for shared exploration and reflection. We’ll spend time reflecting on and reworking a photograph, while engaging with artworks and images that help bridge the space between looking inward and seeing outward. We’ll explore how photographs not only document the external world but also carry traces of our inner landscapes—our values, emotions, questions, and assumptions.
