Contemporary Jewish Museum presents: Conversations with Artists: Rachel Schreiber and Martin Berger Discuss Thursday, November 1, 6:30pm-8:00pm, San Francisco MORE INFO: http://www.thecjm.org/index.php?option=com_ccevents&scope=prgm&task=detail&fid=8&oid=854 Artist Rachel Schreiber uses photography to explore the stories of individuals often marginalized by society. Using her installation "Site Reading" in the exhibition California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present as a jumping off point, Schreiber and University of California, Santa Cruz Professor Martin Berger discuss photography and social justice-issues central to the work in The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League 1936-1951, also currently on view. Schreiber and Berger examine the intersection of people and place and discuss how documenting changing local landscapes through photography can tell not just the story of a place, but also the history of the people who inhabited it.
