Today, photography is celebrated worldwide, and art museums have played a central role in collecting and exhibiting photographic works, thereby contributing significantly to this recognition. The photography collection at the National Gallery of Art not only affirms the artistic value of photography and helps define the professional identity of photographers, but also positions the medium as a vital tool for shaping national memory and cultural identity.
This keynote speech features Sarah Greenough, head and senior curator of the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art in the United States. She will share insights into the department’s founding and evolution, and explore how iconic works in American photographic history have continued to resonate with and influence audiences across generations.
