Journeys Through the Russian Empire: Photography and the Art of Survival

In "Journeys Through the Russian Empire: Photography and the Art of Survival," Dr. William Craft Brumfield - author, scholar, photographer, and leading authority on Russian architecture in the West - presents an illustrative narrative on enduring Russian history through photography.

This program ventures into the extraordinary convergences between Dr. Brumfield’s work and Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky’s photographs, which are now housed at the Library of Congress. The lecture considers connections to the fate of the Russian empire, uncovering photography’s ties to historical narrative, architectural heritage, resilience, and preservation.
