J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Michelle Dunn Marsh

Seeing Being Seen is a synthesis of Dunn’s multi-decade career of leadership roles in design, publishing, arts administration and academia told in part through images by 36 photographers she has known, worked with or collected. A central theme is the ever-evolving journey of learning and understanding how we see. Included is a Primer, an accessible and portable teaching tool on how to read a photograph. In this conversation, Michell Dunn Marsh discusses, among other things:Ways of thinking about the history of photoThe myriad (and often unconscious) factors that influence and inform how we seeMatters of history and heritageDismantling associations and identifying assumptionNormailizing differenceThe neuroscience of seeingThe alchemical and iterative process of visual problem-solving, aka designSequencing as a spiritual practicePortraits as aspirationalIntergenerational dialogPublishing optionsBuying from publishers websites is a smart choiceWhen to guide and when to let goReferenced in the episodeMinor MattersMultiplex by Paul BergerAll Power (Black Panthers at 50) ExhibitTaking Aim by Graham NashCritical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX)Highland Heritage MuseumThe Unconcerned Photographer by Charles HarbuttWays of Seeing by John BergerPrague Winter: A Personal Story of remembrance and War, 1937-1948 by Madeleine AlbrightApertureChronicleJim Marshall YoungArts PCNWMichelle Dunn Marsh Website｜InstagramEngage with J.
