The Caregivers: A Photography Project Addressing Emotional and Physical Labor During a Pandemic

Lecture by Helen Maurene Cooper

September 8th, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. ET

Free & Virtual

Learn about The Caregivers, artist and educator Helen Maurene Cooper’s current portrait project rooted in 19th-centry wet-plate collodion photographic techniques and a sidewalk studio. Cooper’s ambrotype portraits explore caregiving not as a given role for women but within the context of queer and feminist ideologies and the notion of this labor as a radical act. Spend the evening with Ms. Cooper as she shares portraits from The Caregivers  and discusses the artistic process for her newest body of work that addresses public space and the politics of family and intimacy during a period of self-isolation.
