Photobook Dummies is a monthly gathering where collectors, creators, and enthusiasts of photobooks come together to survey this unique art form. We explore a different theme each month, with attendees bringing books from their collections to share and discuss. Our meetups are held in various revolving locations across Durham and Orange County. While many attendees are photographers, anyone with an appreciation for or curiosity about photobooks is welcome to attend.

For this meetup, Photobook Dummies follows the prompt: “Girl Pictures.” Inspired by Justine Kurland’s Girl Pictures (2018, Aperture), our September meetup will celebrate the artistry and perspectives of women photographers. Together, we’ll explore photobooks that highlight their diverse voices, creativity, and lived experiences—placing particular emphasis, whenever possible, on works that center women and their lives as subjects. 

Photobook Dummies is free of charge; please consider a contribution for our COUPON PROGRAM!
