7 Exhibitions to See This Winter

Current and Past CCP Fellows
Josef Breitenbach Research Fellowship
- Julie R. Keresztes is a PhD candidate in the History Department at Boston, University. Her dissertation, Cameras for the Volk: Photography, Community and Society in Nazi Germany, 1933-1945, examines how state and non-state actors used photography as a communal practice to conceptualize belonging and exclusion during the Nazi years.
- David Silver, associate professor and chair of Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco, has been researching, writing, and building a multimedia history of the farm at Black Mountain College. With help from a Josef Breitenbach Research Grant, he is exploring Black Mountain College during the war years, when the college was (mostly) hona. Through an analysis of photographs taken during Breitenbach's Summer 1944 stay at the college, Silver is exploring the ways in which Black Mountain College women learned new skills, took on leadership roles, and expanded the
