On February 11th, we welcome guest speaker Iaritza Menjivar. Iaritza will share the progression of her photographic work through a selection of personal portfolios beginning with First Generation, a project centered on her family and identity, and leading into her more recent project, Felt Like Something Was There. Iaritza will discuss how her work transformed over time and how today’s political climate, where so many of us are being silenced, has pushed her towards making images that feel more intimate, urgent, and true. More about Iaritza and her work on her website: Iaritza.com.
