Lecture by photographer Kellie Connell

Pictures for Charis, is driven by photographer Kelli Connell’s obsession with the writer Charis Wilson, Edward Weston’s partner, model, and collaborator during one of the most productive segments of his historic career. Connell focuses on Wilson and Weston’s shared legacy, traveling with her former partner, Betsy Odom, to locales where the latter couple made photographs together more than eighty years ago This groundbreaking new work raises vital questions about photography, gender, and portraiture in the twenty-first century.
