Two Photographers ‘In Dialogue’

Susan Meiselas, known for her ground-breaking photography in Latin America and around the world, will be “In Dialogue” with photographer Lindsay Morris at The Church in Sag Harbor on Sunday, December 9, at 6 p.m. Come hear Meiselas and Morris in dialogue and learn the art of documenting human stories.

Meiselas’s work has garnered the first Women in Motion Award from Kering and the Rencontres d’Arles in 2019 and is currently the subject of a traveling retrospective exhibition. Lindsay Morris is a published photographer whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, and Vanity Fair, among others.

Meiselas’s steadfast approach to photography prioritizes the image over the artist. Grounded in immersion, Susan has spent more than five decades focusing on the lives, stories, and perspectives of subjects on the edge of the mainstream. Seeking to dispel ignorance and foster an expanding worldview, Meiselas has remained ardent in her belief that the relationship with her subjects, the key to producing work that illuminates their story, is immersion, collaboration, and fully understanding their perspective.

Morris has grounded herself in the documentation of her personal life and the stories of her surrounding community. Documenting the experience of a weekend summer camp for gender-expansive children and their families, Morris garnered worldwide attention for her work, which reached “beyond the confines of the camp” and contributed “to a dialogue about the crucial role support plays.”

All are welcome to attend this discussion offering insight and wisdom to any inspiring photojournalist, documentary filmmaker, storyteller and inquiring mind. Tickets are $20, $10 members. Following the discussion, there will be a Q&A. The work of both Meiselas and Morris is part of the exhibition “RE:Cycle — The Ubiquitous Bike” at The Church, 48 Madison Street, Sag Harbor.
