Aurora PhotoCenter is hosting an in-person talk on July 11 at Newfields with Arkansas-based photographic artist Aaron R. Turner, who will discuss his new book, Moves from The Archive.

The photographs, which are a part of Turner’s larger and ongoing project Black Alchemy, re-present cultural and familial images, exploring them as both subject matter and material. Using the studio as a space for construction, Turner employs cut paper, projected and natural light, black cloth, mirrors, paint, oil sticks, cellophane and packaging materials for analog photography as building blocks for his images.

The free program begins at 7 pm in DeBoest Lecture Hall.
