In A Dirty History of Photography: Chemistry, Fog, and Empire (University of Chicago Press, 2025), Michelle Henning shows how the materials and techniques of chemical photography link war, empire and atmospheric pollution. 

In this new presentation, Henning takes us through her research, which combines a close attention to visual images with a detailed examination of its material infrastructure, from the ecological impact of photographic production to its role in the reproduction of imperial power. 

Your ticket price will go towards the purchase of Dirty History of Photography: Chemistry, Fog, and Empire (University of Chicago Press, 2025) by Michelle Henning.
