Curator Rotem Rozental and Paris Chong discuss the LACP exhibition Expand and Contract, which examines the evolution of American documentary photography throughout the 21st century. The discussion covers a diverse range of projects, from responses to 9/11 and the rise of digital technology to grassroots documentation of wildfire recovery efforts in Altadena and the complex realities of the US-Mexico border. Throughout, Rozental and Chong highlight the power of photography to foster community, support resilience, and capture shifting societal narratives.
