Stacy Kranitz: Ain’t No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down talk.

A public talk at the International Center of Photography centered on photographer Stacy Kranitz and her book 'Ain’t No Grave Gonna Hold My Body Down'. Kranitz will be joined in conversation by essayist Mesha Maren and curator Laura Hutson Hunter. They discuss her decades-long investigation into Appalachian culture and photographic representation, covering the history of photography through Appalachian imagery, how the War on Poverty affected the region, and the civil contract between photographer and photographed. The book traces the social history of Appalachia while questioning photography's role in shaping how the region and its people have been seen.
