On Tuesday, April 15, from 6–8pm, the National Academy of Design will hold a live recording of Person Place Thing, featuring Mitch Epstein in conversation with host Randy Cohen. The event will also include a musical performance by guest composer and guitarist Steph Jenkins.
Included in both parts of Past as Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgment at the National Academy of Design, Epstein’s photographs offer a subtle and contemplative approach to a range of critical societal issues within the United States, continuously questioning what it means to be American.
Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen is an interview show based on the idea that people are particularly engaging when they speak not directly about themselves, but about something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing with particular meaning to them. The result: surprising stories from great talkers.
