Additional information

In 1971, photographer Susan Meiselas created a series of portraits as part of her master’s degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Meiselas’s project involved creating portraits of the diverse group of people who rented rooms in the boarding house where she lived and then asking them to respond to the way they saw themselves in her pictures. Join Meiselas for a conversation about the ways photographs shape how we see ourselves and how we are seen by others.
