MARCH NEO
Bremner Benedict: Re-Imagining Eden
Ripley Garden
Is nature still a place of enchantment? Is childhood still a space of wonder? Do these questions form the basis of myths humans have created to offset their fall from grace, dating back to their expulsion from the Garden of Eden?
Using her daughter as a model, Bremner Benedict proposes several answers to the enduring questions of culture and nature. The most elemental question-whether critical contemplation of the natural world through framing and representation, which transforms the facts of "land" into the concept of "landscape," is boon or bane-is taken up by the young child we see engaging the world and growing up in it, or in spite of it.

Ed Kashi, Madagascar, 2010
The contemporary photojournalist is a storyteller with a bevy of tools at his disposal. Increasingly, media outlets rely on much more than still images to convey stories. Ed Kashi, who will be presenting an intensive seminar for the PRC, has been at the forefront of this new wave of digitally enabled correspondents. In this lecture he will discuss his innovative approach to photography and filmmaking, which has resulted in numerous awards and publications over a twenty-year career. In his own words: "I take on issues that stir my passions about the state of humanity and our world, and I deeply believe in the power of still images to change people's minds."
