2021 marked 50 years of photography at Princeton, sparking both a reflection on the medium’s history and projection toward its future. As part of the Photo History’s Futures lecture series highlighting exciting voices in the field, the Department of Art and Archaeology and the Princeton University Art Museum welcome Aglaya Glebova to speak about her recent book, Aleksandr Rodchenko: Photography in the Time of Stalin, with its emphasis on revolutionary modernity and a well-known artist’s “shadow oeuvre.” Glebova is associate professor in the History of Art Department at the University of California, Berkeley. 

Cosponsored by the Department of Art & Archaeology and the Princeton University Art Museum. Reception to follow.
