$Artist Talk: Susan Meiselas\u2019s 44 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA$

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.
This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the gallery talk. Talks are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
