SUMMARY:Reflections in Black: A Reframing Opening Receptions
DESCRIPTION:Reflections in Black: A Reframing.\nThe Center for Black Visual Culture and Tisch School of the Arts\, Department of Photography & Imaging are pleased to announce Reflections in Black: A Reframing. Curated by Dr. Deborah Willis\, this exhibition accompanies the release of the 25th anniversary edition of Willis’ internationally acclaimed publication Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers 1840 to the Present; the first comprehensive history of black photographers. Reflections in Black: A Reframing showcases the profound visual archive Black image makers have established since the late nineteenth century\, and expands upon the publication’s first iteration originally published in 2000. Reflections in Black: A Reframing includes modern and original prints and extends Willis’s pioneering effort to reshape the narrative of American history\, by centering the indisputable aesthetic\, political\, and cultural contributions of Black photographers from the 19th century to the present.  \nFeatured in the exhibition is The Missing Chapter: Black Chronicles\, Autograph’s pop-up photography display featuring 30 remarkable image panels\, reproduced from rare 19th-century photographs portraying people of African\, Caribbean and South Asian descent during the Victorian era in Britain. Focused on unearthing nineteenth-century photographs of black presences in Britain’s archives\, the portraits offer a unique snapshot of black lives and experiences during the decades following the birth of photography in 1839. Many of these images lay buried deep within the archives for decades\, unseen for more than 125 years.  \nThrough both historical and contemporary lenses\, Reflections in Black: A Reframing foregrounds a sweeping visual archive that affirms Black self-authorship in imagemaking\, spotlighting the evolution and enduring vitality of Black photographic practices. Join us for the exhibition opening receptions September 4\, 2025 in two New York locations; Cooper Square Gallery 5:30-7:00 pm\, Photo & Imaging Galleries 6:00 – 8:00 pm. \nRSVP   \n \nExhibition LocationsCooper Square Gallery20 Cooper Square\, New York\, NY\, 10003On View: September 4 – October 15\, 2025 \nAckeem Salmon\, Albert Chong\, Bayeté Ross-Smith\, Bob Crawford\, Bob Gore\, Brian Palmer\, Coreen Simpson\, Collette V.

Through its sheer power and inherent beauty\, Deborah Willis’s groundbreaking assemblage of photographs of African American life from 1840 to the present triumphantly celebrated family\, endurance\, and spirituality over the last two centuries as it upended stereotypes and rewrote American history. Aware that so much has changed since 2000\, Willis—a world-renowned photographer\, curator\, and author—has now created a breathtaking twenty-fifth anniversary edition\, juxtaposing hundreds of images that appeared in the original edition with 130 new ones.  \nThis enhanced volume\, with a new foreword from Robin D. G. Kelley and a coda from Kalia Brooks\, once again affirms the power of photography to reconfigure our conception of Black life in the African diaspora and American history. Featuring the works of photographers such as Albert Chong\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Allison Janae Hamilton\, Renee Cox\, Carrie Mae Weems\, Andre D. Wagner\, and Hank Willis Thomas\, this new edition is dedicated to the artists who stretch the definition of photography\, creating pieces more akin to multimedia and conceptual art.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nDate:  September 4\, 2025 \nTime:  6:00pm to 7:30pm \nLocation: Cooper Square Gallery20 Cooper Square\, New York\, NY 10003

SUMMARY:International Students in Limbo
DESCRIPTION:International Students in Limbo\nPresented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Co-sponsored by the NYU Migration Network and NYU Center for Black Visual Culture. \nInternational students studying in the United States have found themselves in the cross-hairs of many current federal policies and strategies. A majority of international students hail from Asian nations\, the rate of those arriving from Sub-Saharan Africa is growing at the fastest rate\, and Latinx students make up more than half of those who are undocumented and now increasingly being treated as international\, despite having lived in the United States for many years. From travel bans to visa revocations\, punitive measures against campus protests and cuts in federal funding of research\, recent actions have made the position of all these students quite precarious.      \nOf institutions with large shares of international students\, NYU ranks amongst the highest. With approximately 44% of its student body made up of international students\, this is an issue of particular urgency on our campus. This panel brings together scholars and experts to understand the historical and contemporary contexts of international educational exchange\, along with the implications and effects of current circumstances for the well-being of international and undocumented students. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to current NYU students\, staff\, and faculty. Registration is required. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users. There are single-stall\, all gender restrooms\, and a lactation room available. If you have any access needs\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu \nRegister  \n20 Cooper Square\, 3rd Floor\, New York\, NY\, 10003 \nDate:  September 25\, 2025 \nTime:  12:00pm to 2:00pm \nLocation: 20 Cooper Square\, New York\, NY 10003
