Free Virtual Event: Fireside Chat with Carol Highsmith

Please join Noun Project for a free virtual fireside chat with iconic photographer Carol Highsmith on Thursday, May 19th at 10am PST.

For more than 40 years, Carol Highsmith has been on the adventure of a lifetime — visually documenting America from behind the lens of a camera. From urban neighborhoods to small town scenes, National Parks, vast open space, festivals, and beyond, she has built a collection of more than 72,000 images and donated them all to the Library of Congress as Public Domain and free for everyone to use.

During the event, attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at Carol’s process, career path, and her philosophy around creating images for all.

We’ll be hosting this session live via Zoom. The Zoom link to join will be distributed to all registered attendees.
