Photographer and Barnard Distinguished Artist in Comparative Literature Diana Matar traversed the United States for ten years, documenting locations where citizens were shot or tasered by law enforcement officers. In the resulting book of black and white photographs, writings, and detailed research, My America, she asks: “What does it mean to live in a land where the people responsible for protecting its citizens can so often be involved in their deaths?”
Introduced by Professor of the Arts and Dean Emerita Carol Becker. Responses by Lisa Sutcliffe, Curator in the Department of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Kendall Thomas, Columbia Law School.
