Baltimore Lives: A Discussion with Photographer John Mayden
Visual & Performing Arts • 1h 1m
Award winning photographer John Clark Mayden has been documenting life in Baltimore’s African American neighborhoods since the 1970s. His photographs capture the ordinary joys and sorrows, quiet moments, and daily realities of life: kids on their bikes and roller skates, old timers catching a breeze on their front stoops, busy people striding through the snow. Join The Sheridan Libraries for a discussion between John and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Lawrence Jackson about John’s photos and what they say about the beauty and heartbreak of everyday life, Black life, in this American city.
