“Pictures for Charis” offers a groundbreaking new work by artist Kelli Connell, synthesizing text and image, while raising vital questions about photography, gender, and portraiture in the twenty-first century.
For our April 2024 Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering, Aperture executive director Sarah Meister and photographer Kelli Connell joined Lesley A. Martin, editor of the book, alongside Rebecca Senf, chief curator at the Center for Creative Photography (the publishing partner for this title), and Emily CM Anderson, the book’s designer.
