Dr. Chris Balaschak, associate professor of Visual Arts, recently had his book, “The Image of Environmental Harm in American Social Documentary Photography” published by Routledge.
In it, he explores new perspectives on the history of American social documentary photography, and how politically-engaged photography can serve as models for the representation of impending environmental injustices.
“The project started in 2013 when I was on a research trip to the Museum of Modern Art archives in New York, and was looking at photography, prints, and books, made in response to the 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant,” he said. “I was interested in how artists were using photography as a means of protest, as a way of showing our proximity to potentially catastrophic environmental change, and were choosing photography because it is an inherently reproducible and circulatable medium.”
All galleries and museums require masks and social distancing unless otherwise indicated.
