In her lecture “Feeling Resonances: Archival Affiliations with Latinx Photography,” Deanna Ledezma examines the emotions and affiliations that surface through engagements with Latinx photographic archives. Informed by critical archival studies, she scrutinizes the social and political consequences of how one relates to marginalized subjects and communities through photography. Grounding these issues in specific projects and publications, Ledezma will discuss her scholarly, creative, and collaborative practices with photographic archives, including formal, familial, and emerging collections.
