Parlor Room and the Photography Department welcome renowned artist, Jason Fulford to SAIC for a lecture on his work. Fulford (b. 1973) has adopted the photobook format as a primary mode of expression in which his photographs build a layered articulation through sequence and arrangement. Many of the questions posed by the work are intentionally left unanswered, and are sometimes unanswerable. The work is about the experience of looking and thinking, inviting viewers and readers to be active participants.

Parlor Room and the Photography Department welcome renowned photographer, Susan Lipper to SAIC for a lecture on her work spanning four decades. Upon receiving her MFA from Yale in 1983, Lipper set out devoting herself to a photographic practice that has since culminated in several museum exhibitions and monographs of her work - most notably the work of Grapevine, created between 1988 and 1992 within a small community in West Virginia and trip, a collaborative effort with writer, Frederick Barthleme.
