Lynn Gilbert, Documenting life’s unseen layers: what we see and what is really there...

Lynn Gilbert, a celebrated documentary photographer and author, shares her extraordinary six-decade journey capturing often-unseen truths through her lens. A rich, moving and layered legacy: unusual photographs of children in the 1960s, portraits and unexpected stories from feminist icons, rarely seen interiors of traditional Turkish homes, iconic photographs of Denise Scott Brown and Louise Nevelson, and more.  Lynn reveals how her diverse projects are connected by a singular vision: revealing what lies beneath the surface. Poignantly and powerfully, Lynn speaks with great humility and reflection about her own journey, exemplifying an artist’s vision and vulnerability, persistence, and the courage to say ‘yes’ that can lead to extraordinary places – often when we least expect it.
