Vik Muniz Book Signing at Sikkema Malloy Jenkins
Join Aperture and Sikkema Malloy Jenkins for a book signing to celebrate the release of Vik Muniz on Photography, Mind, and Matter, the latest book in The Photography Workshop Series (Aperture, 2025). In this volume, Vik Muniz—known for his playful pictures that complicate what is understood as a photograph, sculpture, or painting—offers his insight into thinking creatively and seeing the familiar in new and surprising ways.
This program is presented in partnership with Sikkema Malloy Jenkins.
