Re-Release: A Photo is Worth 10,000 Words (The Power of Photography)

Exhibitsmith the Podcast is back! I'm bringing new voices to the podcast, to have engaging discussions about the roles museums, archives, and libraries play in our world. We talk about how and why these institutions matter, and how everyone can do their part to both support them and benefit from them. Please subscribe to the podcast on your favorite platform so you don't miss an exciting new episode.

[This episode originally aired on December 2, 2024. Features mentioned in the episode may no longer be available.]

As we look ahead to the new year, which will, no doubt, be filled to the brim with tabloid images and talking heads, this episode encourages you take a moment to think about life before photos changed the world, and how (for better and worse) it has changed our lives. Photography has meant very different things to us collectively since its debut in 1839. This episode explores the different ways photography has shaped our society over the past (almost) two centuries and encourages you to reflect on those immense changes and how your daily lives.
