The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Revisions: Celebrating Fifty Years of the UMBC Photography Collections, featuring highlights and lesser-known gems from UMBC’s considerable photography holdings. Looking back at a half-century of collecting, the exhibition offers thematic groupings and visual juxtapositions of photographs from the nineteenth century to the present. The display asks viewers to approach the history of photography with fresh eyes. Among the artists featured are Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Cary Beth Cryor, Darryl Curran, Judy Dater, Robert Frank, Roland Freeman, Ralph Gibson, Lewis Hine, Lisette Model, and Alfred Stieglitz.

Humanities Forum — Dagmawi Woubshet

Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

The annual Daphne Harrison Lecture features Dagmawi Woubshet, Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Endowed Term Associate Professor, English, University of Pennsylvania, who will speak on James Baldwin and the Art of Late Style. James Baldwin has come back with full force in our era of Black Lives Matter. In the 100 years since his birth, he has become the most cited literary artist—living or dead—on matters of race on social media since the Ferguson Uprising, his words deployed to expose white power and innocence and to express black rage and ethics. Decades after his death, the fact that Baldwin’s words ring loud and true today not only testifies to his genius, but also offers an indictment of an America that continues to disparage, torture, and murder black people with impunity.
