Join us at Public Trust for The Suffering of Light and Beyond, a conversation with Magnum photographer Alex Webb on Thursday, May 8, 2025 from 6.00pm – 7:30pm about the intersection of cultures and the complexity of human emotions. This event is presented in partnership with Magnum Photos, and will feature Webb in conversation with Sean Corcoran, Curator of Photography at the Museum of the City of New York, as well as poet and photographer Rebecca Norris Webb, Alex’s wife and creative partner. A reception will follow.
Organized in conjunction with Magnum America / U.S.A. at Public Trust, The Suffering of Light and Beyond takes its point of departure from the recent eponymous Magnum publication, which revisits work from the 1940s to the present and across the wide breadth of American history. Accompanied by an archival display of images, events in this series feature photographers from the book in dialogue about their work, the complexity of the democratic experiment, and the many contemporary social and political challenges confronting us today.
