Esta sesión explora el trabajo del fotógrafo Dawoud Bey, quien usa su cámara para visualizar comunidades e historias que han sido marginadas. Desde sus retratos tiernos y perceptivos, hasta obras más recientes que dan un giro histórico, las imágenes de Bey plantean preguntas existenciales que sugieren no solo una especie de expresión personal sino el poder y la posibilidad de dar testimonio a través de la fotografía.

Camilo Godoy es un artista y educador radicado en Nueva York. Es candidato de maestría en arte en Columbia University y enseña en Recess y el Whitney Museum. 

This session explores the work of photographer Dawoud Bey, who uses his camera to visualize communities and histories that have been underrepresented. From his tender and perceptive portraits to more recent work that takes a historic turn, Bey’s images pose existential questions that suggest not just a kind of personal expression but the power and possibility of bearing witness through photography.   

Camilo Godoy is an artist and educator based in New York. He is an MFA candidate at Columbia University and teaches at Recess and the Whitney Museum.
