The Visual Rhetorics of War

Wir Vergessen Nichts
Berlin, June 2012

 

On Wednesday, March 27th, I’ll be at the Popular Culture Association conference in Washington, D.C., presenting in the session about the visual rhetorics of war. My paper examines how two newspapers – The New York Times (U.S.) and Le Monde (France) – have used photographs to commemorate the 9/11 attacks over the past 10 years. If you’re there, I hope you’ll say hello.

Salt City DISHES: February 19

 

Our third Salt City DISHES community dinner/grantmaking event sold out — in a record two days.

Daylight Blue Media’s gorgeous teaser video gives a fantastic sense of how the dinners feel, and how many people come together to make the event possible. Later this week, I’ll post photos of the event and an update about the community project that takes home $1000.
