Diné photographer Will Wilson talks about his work which offers a counter narrative to romanticized visions of Native people that fix them in an unchanging past. With his lens-based artistry, Wilson challenges the traditional portrayal of the indigenous North American image and reclaims it for modern generations.
Wilson's art projects center around the continuation and transformation of customary indigenous cultural practice.
For over 40 years, Gale Spring has witnessed the impact and challenges of technology on the interpretation of images. He will take us on a journey through time to look at how the photography landscape has changed.
BIOCOMM 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting and dynamic conference with a program full of educational workshops and presentations. Have a peek at the full program to get a taste of what’s in store. The diversity of our presentations will leave you feeling amazed at the variety of scientific and medical imaging that our colleagues are utilizing.
Take advantage of an in-person conference to attend hands-on workshops. We have a variety of workshops included in the registration. Travel back in time to make a tintype in a workshop conducted by Will Wilson, our Maria Ikenberg Lindberg keynote speaker. Then jump back to the present to learn the nuts and bolts of how to create a short YouTube video, from the initial storyboard, filming, editing and posting online.
Directly following BIOCOMM 2023 there will be a post-conference workshop on May 19. Continue the networking with colleagues in a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, while still continuing to reap the educational benefits of photography in the field.
