Month of Photography (MoP) Denver is still going strong! Below are a few events CPAC recommends, and you can view a full list of exhibitions, openings, and other MoP happenings here

Artist Talk: 'A Decade of Visual Activism' by Jess T. Dugan

Tuesday March 28 @ Arapahoe Community College (Waring Theater), Free 
"Documentary photos are often thought of as tidy, precise microcosms of the world outside the frame. But life is never that neat. Ms. Dugan has delved deeply into that messy chaos to present experiences and individuals that don’t fulfill clear-cut expectations." -- Jake Naughton, New York Times Lens blog

Join us March 28 for a talk by Jess Dugan about her highly acclaimed series Every Breath We Drew, on view at RedLine through April 9. Learn more. Photo: Jess and Vanessa by Jess Dugan.
