Join Photographers for a Conversation on Documenting Racial Justice Protests in Brooklyn

The Center for Brooklyn History is gathering photographers to share their experiences and insights after a year of documenting the movement for racial justice.

David Gonzalez, New York Times Lens Blog coeditor and Metro columnist, joins photographers Bob Gore, Madison Swart and Terrence Jennings, who all took up their cameras and joined Brooklyn rallies and marches in 2020. Their conversation will delve into what they saw and how documenting the protests for justice intersected with their personal and professional lives.

The program, “Capturing Protest: A Photographer’s Perspective on a Year in the Movement for Black Lives,” is part of the Center for Brooklyn History’s “Brooklyn Resists” initiative. The project includes an outdoor multimedia exhibition currently viewable on the exterior of 128 Pierrepont Street and an open call for Brooklynites to share their own images.

The conversation with the photographers takes place via Zoom at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 15. It is free but online registration is required to log in. For more information, check out the event page online.
