CDS exhibitions intern Audrey Bell recently produced a video on the current exhibit Full Color Depression: First Kodachromes from America’s Heartland, featuring an audio clip of an interview with Bruce Jackson by publishing intern Joel Mora. Jackson discusses the origins of the show, and his thoughts on first seeing the rare Kodachrome images of Depression-era America. Jackson selected and, in some instances, restored a representative group of images from the Library of Congress collection, using files made from the original color transparencies, then printed them large-scale. (The transparencies are in the FSA/Office of War Information Collection at the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress; loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsac.)
Thursday, April 19, 6–9 p.m.; talk by Bruce Jackson at 7 p.m.
