Join us for a presentation & discussion of Dorothea Lange’s iconic photography with a special focus on its relationship to language, including public writings and captions or descriptions in various publications.

After an early career as portrait photographer, Lange dedicated her life to documenting American life including the Great Depression, impoverished sharecroppers, life inside the Japanese Incarceration Camps, and booming coastal towns during WWII.
