The FSA Photographs Revisited
November 18, 2011
When Roy Stryker became head of the Farm Security Administration in 1935, his aim was to create a photographic archive that documented the people (specifically the small tenant farmer, the rural poor) and the times. The photographers included Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Marion Post Wolcott, and Ben Shahn. The result: 77,000 printed photographs from 164,000 negatives.
The FSA Photographs Revisited exhibition is featuring work by foundation photography students of adjunct faculty member, Helen Kim, and is an addition to the ongoing visual archive of our times.
