Heather Diack in conversation with Civil Rights photographer, educator, artist, and activist Dr. Doris Derby.
About
After being recruited by the student non-violent coordinating committee (SNCC) in the early 1960s, Dr. Doris Derby committed herself to a life of art and activism, using photography as an instrument of community-building. Her photographs of the Civil Rights movement and beyond depict the lived experiences of Black people amidst the oppression and inequities of race relations in the Southern United States.
FEMINISM, PHOTOGRAPHY AND RESISTANCE TALKS
This programme of online talks explores the relationship between photography and resistance from a feminist perspective. The series is produced in collaboration with Kylie Thomas, researcher at the Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD) in Amsterdam, and the editor of a special issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture journal on photography and resistance, to be published in Spring 2022.
The talks accompany our spring exhibition, Photographing Protest: Resistance through a feminist lens.
