Philip Montgomery and Jelani Cobb on “American Mirror”

Join ICP and Aperture for a conversation and book signing for American Mirror, featuring New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb and Philip Montgomery, as they examine the themes, images, and stories within American Mirror.

American Mirror, published by Aperture, is the first monograph by award-winning photographer Philip Montgomery and a dramatic chronicle of the United States at a time of profound upheaval. Through his intimate and powerful reporting and a signature black-and white style, Montgomery reveals the fault lines in American society, from police violence and the opioid addiction crisis to the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrations in support of Black lives. Yet in his unflinching images, viewers can also see moments of grace and sacrifice, glimmers of solidarity and tireless advocates for democracy.
