CENTER is partnering with scholars, artists, curators, social theorists, activists, journalists, and others to explore how the function, theoretical framework, and lens-based media practices have evolved in the 21st century. The Photography 20/20 Compendium investigates the past 20 years of photography in interviews, panel discussions, critical essays, photographer presentations, and more. As an initial point of departure, CENTER will guide the 20/20 Compendium programs with three primary lines of inquiry:
1) How has photography and lens-based media evolved in the past 20 years?
2) What conditions, social, economic, and political, have influenced the field in the past 20 years?
3) Given what has already occurred in the 21st Century, what possible futures are there for lens-based media in the next 20 years?
