DARTS-207 Documentary Photography & Digital Media
A course for students interested in working with digital collections of photographs and learning digital research methods. A critical examination of how photographers have tried to shed light on social injustices and promote systemic change from the 19th century to the present day. We will unpack the ethics, aesthetics and uses of documentary images, looking at the relationship of governments, the press, the police, archives, and museums to photography. We will ask how the practice of representation intersects with biases and power dynamics around class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, and sexuality.
