Seeing and Being Seen: A Conversation with Photographer Jess T. Dugan and Their Sitters

This panel will examine the process of portrait photography, both behind and in front of the camera. Hannah Klemm and Eric Lutz, cocurators of Currents 120: Jess T. Dugan, will lead a discussion with artist Jess T. Dugan and two sitters, Shira Berkowitz and Collin Elliott, who have been the subjects of numerous portraits. In sharing their experiences working together over the course of many years, they shed light on the unique dynamics of this genre.

This virtual program will take place via Zoom and will include opportunities for participants to ask questions with the Q&A feature. Attendees’ mics and cameras will not be activated. This event will have automated closed captions.

Attendees must register to receive the Zoom link. Capacity for the live program is limited.
