Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario will give Houghton Library's virtual Spring 2022 Philip and Frances Hofer Lecture on the Art of the Book. A New York Times bestselling author, Addario’s stories and images illustrate the immense human capacity for tragedy and suffering, but also for hope and resilience. In her lecture, she will present a stunning and personally-curated selection of her work from conflict zones across the world, covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, life in Afghanistan under the Taliban, and the daily reality of women in the Middle East.
Addario is the author of two books, It's What I Do (2015) and Of Love & War (2018). She has received numerous international awards, including a MacArthur Fellowship in 2009, the Overseas Press Club’s Olivier Rebbot Award, and the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting.
This lecture is in conjunction with the Houghton Library exhibition "Creating the Racial State: Politics, Culture, and Purity of Blood in Hitler's Germany." The lecture will be recorded.
