The renowned American photographer Shane Balkowitsch will be talking about his career as an ambrotypist in Bismarck, North Dakota, and his extraordinary project to create 1,000 portraits of Native American people using this 170-year-old photographic technique.

There will also be an opportunity to view many of Shane's original glass photo photographs which have been donated to the Pitt Rivers Museum, as well as his publications about the project.

In 2023-4, Shane's work was highlighted in the exhibition Collaborating With The Past at Pitt Rivers Museum.

Free event. All welcome.
