Join us for a presentation &\; discussi on of this interesting and surprisingly relevant exhibition on Dorothea La nge&rsquo\;s photography with a special focus on its relationship to langu age &ndash\; writing found in the environment\, but also captions or descr iptions added in various publications\, to &ldquo\;extend\, buttress\, ill uminate\, and explain the photograph&rdquo\;. \; After an early career as portrait photographer Lange dedicated her life to documenting life dur ing the Great Depression\, travelling through the country for the Farm Sec urity Administration to capture the lives of impoverished share croppers\, documenting life inside the Japanese Incarceration Camps\, in booming coa st towns during WWII&hellip\; She very carefully composed her thought prov oking images while always dedicated to being truthful. So many of her imag es have become iconic\, most famously the Migrant Mother.
