PhotoAlliance Lecture Series: Wesaam Al-Badry and Jake Ricker
About this Event

Join us for a captivating lecture featuring two dynamic photographers, , whose work challenges conventional narratives and opens up discussions on identity, community, and social justice.

Wesaam Al-Badry, a multidisciplinary artist and photojournalist, explores themes of displacement, conflict, and the cultural intersections of his Iraqi-American identity. His work, often rooted in deep personal experiences, offers a profound reflection on the human cost of war, migration, and systemic inequalities. In this lecture, Wesaam will delve into his approach to documenting marginalized communities and the ethical responsibilities of visual storytelling in times of crisis.

Jake Ricker, a documentary photographer, brings a raw and unfiltered view of life on the Golden Gate Bridge, capturing intimate, fleeting moments that reveal the everyday complexities of modern society. Through his lens, Jake presents an honest and sometimes gritty portrait of his subjects, often highlighting the resilience and beauty found in overlooked corners of the city. In this session, Jake will discuss his approach to photographing urban spaces and how his work intersects with themes of community, identity, and public space.

Together, Al-Badry and Ricker will engage in a dialogue that spans personal meaning, political engagements, and cultural ties, shedding light on their unique perspectives and photographic practices.This lecture is a must-attend for anyone interested in photography's role as a tool for social commentary and storytelling.
