I am moderating and co-producing a panel event at The New School that shows how photographers and image-makers are creating a career pathway that corrects mis-representation and re-shapes the way we see ourselves in fashion and the media. This event will serve to identify and address the social and systemic issues that generate short-sighted, stereotypical images of marginalized individuals in the media, and introduce a new generation of photographers and image-makers who will share their creative journey and impart wisdom when it comes to creating your own lane in the industry.

The panelists:

Myles Loftin, Photographer, Parsons’ BFA Photography ’20

Joshua Kissi, Creative Director and Co-founder, TONL

Kimberly Drew, Social Media Manager, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Peter Ash Lee, Photographer, Creative Director, Corduroy

Jamilla Okubo, Illustrator, Parsons’ BFA Integrated Design ’16 

Presented by the BFA Photography Program and MA Fashion Studies Program at Parsons School of Design.

This event is free and part of the Nth Degree Series: Creative Minds Creating Change. RSVP here.
