Behind Glass with Anne Berry
Join us via Zoom Wednesday, October 5th at 7 pm ET
Photographer Anne Berry is widely recognized for her ability to create lyrical, intimate portraits of animals. Her most recent book, Behind Glass, is an intimate collection of images made in monkey houses of small zoos throughout Europe. Her photographs depict a wide range of emotions and expressions and reveal an undeniable communication between herself and the primates she visits. These powerful and moving photographs make us reexamine our relationship with the more-than-human world.
Most of the primates Berry photographs qualify as endangered, and all of them are facing a loss of habitat. Berry’s photographs encourage us to feel compassion and aim to inspire radical stewardship. Additionally, Berry has partnered with primate non-profit foundations that use her book to broaden the advocacy of their causes.
Anne Berry is an artist from Atlanta, Georgia. Her photographs investigate the animal world, the domain of childhood, and the terrain of the Southern wilderness.
