How does photography help us question the past? Can a queer lens offer more nuanced understandings?

Watch this conversation with artist Kelli Connell as the High presents a groundbreaking exhibition featuring her powerful work, which reconsiders Edward Weston’s iconic photographs of the American West through a contemporary queer and feminist perspective. In this conversation, Connell offers fresh perspectives on the complicated relationships between images, people, desire, and beauty.

“Kelli Connell: Pictures for Charis” is on view now through January 5th.
