As part of our Photobook Month series of events, we are thrilled to have an online conversation between Skylark Edition's Kelli Connell and Melissa Ann Pinney talking about their collaboration on the book, In Their Own Light.

In Their Own Light: Photographs from Chicago Public Schools relates the story of Melissa Ann Pinney's five-year artist residency in Chicago Public Schools, from a largely White elementary school to several mostly Black and Latinx high schools. When Pinney began this work in 2018, she had no idea of what was to come. Here, we see how the project evolved and shifted as

In this six-session online workshop, you will be guided through your photobook's conception, creation, and completion via a print-on-demand (POD) self-publishing platform. In preparation, you should have an idea or subject for your photobook and gather a selection of jpg images you envision including. To begin, we will examine a book's structure and examples of classic and contemporary photobooks. Through weekly presentations, discussion of each project, and assignments, you will work to refine your idea (the why, what, and who); edit and sequence images; identify/compose text; and make

The Griffin Museum invites you to join artist Dale Niles, Photo Editor Barbara Griffin, and Designer/Publisher Laurie Shock, as they discuss the journey of transitioning the artist's series What Lies Within from prints on the wall, to a critically acclaimed book.

Eight years ago, artist Dale Niles entered the world of collector Andrea M. Noel after a friend suggested that I might be interested in photographing Andrea's expansive collections. After approaching her about the potential of examining her assortments photographically, Dale was presented with a list of over sixty collecting

This online workshop will dive into the process of generating a new body of work through the appropriation and repurposing of pre-existing archives.

These archives may be work that you have created, but want to utilize in a new way or work that you have never published, but want to revisit.

We will also investigate ways to use family photos, and appropriated images to produce a project that is personal to you and your vision.

What you will do:

-Find a through line via research or visual interest (conceptual ideas and what is the new narrative).

-Exploring tools for
