Student conversation with photographer and artist, Fazal Sheikh

Join acclaimed photographer and artist, Fazal Sheikh, for a conversation exclusively for students in Lancaster Lounge from 4:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28th. Moderated by Professor of Art, Mike Kolster.

Fazal Sheikh is an artist who has spent his career photographing individuals and communities displaced by conflict and environmental change. His principal form is the portrait, although his projects also encompass personal narratives, found photographs, sound recordings, archival material, and academic essays, as well as his own written texts.  His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of Photography in New York City and in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. He is currently working on a series of projects in the Exposure series that confront environmental racism in the American Southwest and the impacts of extractive industries upon public lands and local communities.

Following the student conversation, Fazal Sheikh will deliver the Kenneth V. Santagata Memorial Lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium. More information can be found here: https://cglink.me/2dK/r1959426
