Join Center for Creative Photography (CCP) for a lunchtime virtual panel about photographer and social justice advocate Marion Palfi (1907-1978) and the role of the archive. Audrey Sands, Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography, is joined by curators and archivists from the three national repositories with major holdings of Marion Palfi’s work—The Center for Creative Photography, the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, and the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University. The conversation will explore Palfi’s practice, the histories of these distinct collections and how they are used today for teaching and research, and what is means to be the custodians of an artist’s legacy.

• Kate Meyer, Curator of Works on Paper, Spencer Museum of Art, The University of Kansas

• Emilie Hardman, Head of Archives and Digital Strategy, Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona
