This collaborative project was started by Daniel King and Cassidy Brauner, to bring unique perspectives together in an effort to empower individual and community dialogues around the collective interest in personal photographs.

New Old Image eXchange (event program)
February 12, 2019, Ohio University

The New Old Image eXchange, hosted by the School of Art + Design at Ohio University in spring 2019 brought together a diverse assortment of artists, writers, and cultural producers in Athens, OH for a day of readings, presentations, and panel discussions.

Produced and coordinated by Cassidy Brauner, Courtney Kessel, and Daniel King, visiting speakers and students examined and proposed new meanings for old, forgotten, and unused photographs over the course of a full day.

The program created a dialogue across multiple disciplines, both inside and outside the arts, concerned with the malleable meaning and value of forgotten personal photographs. By providing the time and space to explore narrative meanings held in a singular photographic image, this event provided a counterpoint to the fast paced and endless scrolling production and distribution of mass images all around us.
