ICA/Boston will present a series of intimate and conversational talks in conjunction with Deana Lawson, the first museum survey dedicated to the work of this important artist. Drawing on a wide spectrum of photographic languages, including the family album, studio portraiture, staged tableaux, and appropriated images, Lawson’s highly staged, large-format color photographs depict individuals, couples, and groups in both domestic and public settings, constructing narratives of family, love, intimacy, and desire. Rather than creating documentary or biographical pictures, Lawson makes images that tell stories to reclaim an expansive Black experience. This series of dialogues offers audiences an invitation to delve deeper into Lawson’s practice and the artist’s unique approach to her craft. Each conversation will explore Lawson’s work within a longer history of photography, frames of representation, and Black visual cultures.
