Artist Rachel Schreiber uses photography to explore the stories of individuals often marginalized by society. Using her installation "Site Reading" in the exhibition California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present as a jumping off point, Schreiber and University of California, Santa Cruz Professor Martin Berger discuss photography and social justice-issues central to the work in The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League 1936-1951, also currently on view. Schreiber and Berger examine the intersection of people and place and discuss how documenting changing local landscapes through photography can tell not just the story of a place, but also the history of the people who inhabited it.
