Nina Robinson will speak about her two-year project Not Forgotten: An Arkansas Family Album. The work is a unique and intimate exploration of loss, love and tradition in a rural Black community.

NINA ROBINSON is a documentary and portrait photographer based in the South Bronx and Arkansas. In her work, Robinson examines issues in underrepresented communities, aiming to break the visual prejudices of race, class and age. She has been published in The New York Times, was named one of Time Magazine’s “Instagram Photographers to Follow in All 50 States” and has exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Robinson teaches a phototherapy program at the William Hodson Senior Center, where, through the use of photography, older residents are able to openly explore personal and social issues. She is a member of the Bronx Photo League, a collective of documentary photographers in the South Bronx.


Not Forgotten: An Arkansas Family Album is sponsored by Fujifilm Cameras, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Art Works and National Endowment for the Arts.
