Through the Lens of Arthur Rothstein: Beyond Shanghai

September 9, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm CDT

FREE

Arthur Rothstein was a celebrated photojournalist best-known for his Dust Bowl photography during the Great Depression. One of his lesser-known projects included an assignment photographing the Jewish refugee community in Shanghai during World War II, showcased in IHMEC’s new exhibit, Shanghai: Safe Haven During the Holocaust.

Join us for an illustrated virtual lecture that will place Rothstein’s Shanghai photo essay in the context of his extraordinary 50-year career. The lecture will be presented by Rothstein’s daughter, Dr. Ann Rothstein Segan, and her husband, urban planner and affordable-housing specialist at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Brodie Hefner.

Free event, registration is required.
