Meet the Artist, with Magali Duzant & Lindsay Buchman
‘Meet the Artist’ programming was presented by the Center for Photography at Woodstock to discuss Buchman’s publishing practice under SSP, conntected to site, language, and memory. Followed by a discussion with Magali Duzant in advance of her publication La vie is like that, examining themes of change, immigration, connection, dementia, loss, speech, love, and humor. The discussion includes readings by Duzant during the fall of 2023 before her spring 2024 book release, as well as preliminary research from her project and past publications.
like the delayed rays of a star
For Printed Matter + EXILE Books’ program at NADA Miami 2021, we presented Heather M. O’Brien’s artist book, like the delayed rays of a star, as a conversation with the book’s contributors, Corinne May Botz, Juli Carson, and Yasmine Nachabe Taan. Together, the discussants respond to O’Brien’s book, which contemplates the role of the gaze in photography while attempting to pierce the propaganda surrounding US-centric perceptions of Beirut. In moments charged by Beirut's 2019 rebellion, economic collapse, the pandemic, and the most recent 2020 blast, this work seeks to resist narrative tropes of a western gaze by asking us, "will there ever be another way to see Beirut?”
De Aquí Para Allá
In place of our LA Art Book Fair 2020 Classroom program, we held a virtual conversation between Stephanie Garcia, gloria galvez, and Devon Tsuno, moderated by Lindsay Buchman. Together, we discuss Garcia’s artist’s book De Aquí Para Allá, as well as the importance of sharing stories from marginalized communities. galvez is an artist and community organizer with a background in prison abolition movement building, and Tsuno is an LA-native whose recent work focuses on stories written by incarcerated Japanese American teenagers at the WWII Topaz concentration camp in Delta, Utah.
De Aquí Para Allá explores familial immigration stories through forms of correspondence and translated audio interviews, using storytelling to examine political struggle and social inequality. While Garcia’s work calls attention to the plight and challenges families experience while being undocumented, she speaks to the resiliency and strength that runs through the fabric of the Latinx community.

We Been Here, with William Camargo, Genesis Báez & Lindsay Buchman
This conversation brings together photographers William Camargo and Genesis Báez, moderated by Lindsay Buchman, to discuss Camargo's recent publication, We Been Here. The publication depicts Anaheim, California, as a contested site, examining gentrification, colonized land, and Mexican, Chicanx, and Latinx histories. We Been Here enacts counterstories to challenge the erasure and mischaracterization of Latinx communities, revealing buried histories of oppression and disempowerment in the region contrasted by community activism. Together, Báez and Camargo will discuss their lens-based practices and the importance of photographic narratives to empower and rewrite dominant canons of photography while exploring the relationship between place, land, and community within visual representation. Presented by Seaton Street Press for New York Art Book Fair’s The Classroom, organized by David Senior and Printed Matter Art Book Fairs at Dia Chelsea, 2022.
