Gallery Talk: Susan Meiselas’s 44 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA

Photographer Susan Meiselas’ 1971 photo series provides an intimate look into individual rooms in the Cambridge, MA boarding house where she lived and the diverse lives of the other tenants who lived there. On Friday, Jan. 31, join Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow Madison Brown for a close look at these portraits and a conversation exploring who people are behind closed doors and how humans present themselves in front of the camera.
