Gallery Talk: Susan Meiselas’s 44 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA

This event does not require registration; see further details below.

Photographer Susan Meiselas’ 1971 photo series provides an intimate look into individual rooms in the Cambridge, MA boarding house where she lived and the diverse lives of the other tenants who lived there. Join Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow Madison Brown for a close look at these portraits and a conversation exploring who we are behind closed doors and how we present ourselves in front of the camera.

This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.

Led by:
Madison Brown, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow in Photography, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
