Description
As the United States navigates a political moment defined by the close of the Obama era and the rise of #BlackLivesMatter activism, "Aperture" magazine releases "Vision & Justice," a special issue guest edited by Sarah Lewis, the distinguished author and art historian, addressing the role of photography in the African American experience. "Vision & Justice" includes a wide span of photographic projects by such luminaries as Lyle Ashton Harris, Annie Leibovitz, Sally Mann, Jamel Shabazz, Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems and Deborah Willis, as well as the brilliant voices of an emerging generation--Devin Allen, Awol Erizku, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Deana Lawson and Hank Willis Thomas, among many others. These portfolios are complemented by essays from some of the most influential voices in American culture including contributions by celebrated writers, historians, and artists such as Vince Aletti, Tegu Cole, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Margo Jefferson, Wynton Marsalis and Claudia Rankine.
Aperture is a sophisticated guide to the world of contemporary photography that combines the finest writing with sumptuously reproduced portfolios. Presenting fresh perspectives by leading writers, art historians, and other thinkers, accessible to the photo practitioner and the culturally curious alike, each issue examines one theme at the heart of contemporary photography through essays, in-depth interviews, and immersive portfolios. Columns include On Portraits, The Collectors, Curriculum, and Object Lessons. Today, in a world awash in images, Aperture is an essential guide to the evolving story of photography.
