Keep the Kid Alive, Arielle Bobb-Willis’s first book, invites audiences into a brightly imaginative world, filled with dynamic colors, gestures, and unusual poses of the artist’s own creation. Transforming the streets of New Orleans, New York, and Los Angeles into lush backdrops for her wonderfully surreal tableaus, Bobb-Willis makes unforgettable images that expand the genres of fashion and art photography.
For our December 2024 Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering, Aperture’s executive director, Sarah Meister, joined Arielle Bobb-Willis as well as the book’s designer Rush Jackson, and the curator and gallery founder Hannah Traore.
Join the Club to receive news on upcoming gatherings and discounts on featured photobooks.
This event was originally streamed on December 10, 2024. Support for the 2024 Aperture PhotoBook Club is generously provided by FotoFocus.
