PhotoAlliance Lecture Series: Fazal Sheikh

PhotoAlliance Lecture Series: Fazal Sheikh

By PhotoAlliance

Date and time

Starts on Saturday, May 11 · 11am PDT

Join Creative Director Linda Connor for a not-to-be-missed presentation and conversation with Fazal Sheikh, who will be joining this program live on Zoom from Yenya. Sheikh will share images and insights from his latest trilogy of projects made on the Colorado Plateau from 2017 to early 2023, and included in the exhibition Thirst | Exposure | In Place currently on view at the Denver Art Museum.

Sheikh and Connor will also discuss several of his other projects working to document and understand marginalized and displaced people around the world, connecting that work to conflicts and humanitarian crises unfolding today. In particular, The Erasure Trilogy brings together three projects which explore loss, displacement, and division among those whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and by the Palestinian–Israeli conflict that is its legacy.
