The Camera Club of New York Lecture Series presents in association with the School of Visual Arts: Jonathan Torgovnik

DATE: Thursday, December 6th
TIME: 7pm
LOCATION: School of Visual Arts Amphitheater, 209 E. 23rd St. (2nd/3rd Aves.)
ADMISSION: Free to CCNY members, SVA students, faculty, and staff. General admission $10, $5 for other students with ID

Jonathan Torgovnik has traveled around this country and the world, camera in hand, in pursuit of visual stories about some of the more complicated issues facing people from all walks of life. On assignment in places near and far for such publications as Newsweek, Paris Match, the Sunday Times Magazine, Stern, and others, Torgovnik’s photographs spotlight life in our world through ordinary and not so ordinary people and places.

During his lecture Torgovnik will speak about Intended Consequences, an ongoing project focused on the plight of Rwandan women who were victims of rape during the 1994 genocide and the children who were the product of that horror.

He will also show work from his long-term project, Bollywood Dreams. Published as a monograph by Phaidon Press in 2003, Bollywood Dreams examines the culture and color of the cinema in India.

Additionally, Torgovnik will show other images made while on assignment for Newsweek.

Copies of Bollywood Dreams will be available for purchase. An informal book signing will follow the lecture.
