FAZAL SHEIKH
IN CONVERSATION WITH LINDA CONNOR

Saturday, May 11th, 11:00 am PDT | Online Via Zoom

Join Creative Director Linda Connor for a not-to-be-missed presentation and conversation with Fazal Sheikh, who will be joining this program live on Zoom from Kenya. Sheikh will share images and insights from his latest trilogy of projects made on the Colorado Plateau from 2017 to early 2023, and included in the exhibition Thirst | Exposure | In Place currently on view at the Denver Art Museum.

Sheikh and Connor will also discuss several of his other projects working to document and understand marginalized and displaced people around the world, connecting that work to conflicts and humanitarian crises unfolding today. In particular, The Erasure Trilogy brings together three projects which explore loss, displacement, and division among those whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and by the Palestinian–Israeli conflict that is its legacy.

BARBARA BOISSEVAIN, SALT POND GRID VI, 2020

PhotoAlliance 2023 lecturer Barbara Boissevain has generously donated a beautiful print from her latest project Salt of the Earth for our Collector Print program.

In Salt of the Earth, Boissevain uses a vivid and abstract visual language combined with shifting viewpoints to enhance the surreal nature of the San Francisco Bay’s transforming landscapes while examining the impact of human activity on the environment. After several years of taking these aerial photographs, Boissevain had thousands of images and began creating formal grids based on the year they were photographed and a common color palette. Salt of the Earth has been published by Kehrer Verlag in 2023.
