PHOTOGRAPHY & CURIOSITY: THE CAMERA AS A TOOL OF INQUIRY
with Kyli Hawks
What questions can a photograph ask? How can the camera help us make sense of the intangible, challenge what we know, and demand new ways of seeing? Through artist talks, critiques, and workshops, this programming series hosted by current Filter Photo Fellow, Kyli Hawks, explores photography as a tool for inquiry, reflection, and reimagination.
