 DPI Adjunct Faculty member Diana McClure has an essay, Chester Higgins: The Sacred Nile Project, in the Jan/Feb issue of The Photography Review Newsletter. Excerpt: In 1973 Chester Higgins traveled to Egypt for the first time. Embarking on what would become nearly a half-century of visual, intellectual, experiential, and spiritual revelations, he is now poised to share his findings with the world. Working with his wife, Betsy Kissam, a writer, editor, and linguist, as well as countless anthropologists, archaeologists, spiritual practitioners, and everyday people, Higgins has sculpted and framed a treasure trove of historical insight relevant to humans of the 21st century. Embedded across millennia in the landscapes, skyscapes, and people of three ancient civilizations, Egypt (Kemet), Ethiopia (Kush), and Sudan (Nubia), the project in some senses resembles a rite of passage, a poetic glimpse into the mystery schools of antiquity and their presence in the daily life of modern-day Christians, Muslims, Ethiopian Hebrews, and the Oromo people, practitioners of the nature-centric spiritual system Wakafana.

Isaac Julien and Deborah Willis in Conversation
Deborah Willis and Isaac Julien take Frederick Douglass’ interest in photography’s capacity for representation beyond caricature and its potential as a tool for racial justice as the point of departure for this wide-ranging conversation. Willis and Julien’s shared interest in the concept of the photographic archive, extending back to Julien’s landmark work Looking for Langston (1989), will further illuminate the utopian values and ideas that Douglass and his contemporaries shared. Presented by McEvoy Foundation and Aperture. Watch the recorded event.
