Gallery Talk - Where We Go, Where We Stay: Exploring Place and Identity Through Photography

Location:

Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center

Léa Greenberg, Vassar Class of 2025 and Loeb Curatorial Intern, shares insights into Where We Go, Where We Stay: Exploring Place and Identity Through Photography, an exhibition she organized on the reciprocal relationship between place and personal identity. With a focus on portraiture, the works in this exhibition explore why people leave places, move to new ones, and how they establish connection within the places they are. Included is a selection of 14 photographs by artists such as Vivian Maier, Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, and Deana Lawson, along with 10 postcards by Eleanor Antin from her 100 Boots series.
