SCAD presents 'Pass the Mic: Conversations with Black Creatives - Behind the Lens'

The Guests and Gusto symposium "Pass the Mic: Conversations with Black Creatives" unites leading professionals for three insightful panels as they speak to their experiences in creative fields. Untangling the ways in which these industries are changing, the panelists explore the ongoing and lasting influence of the Black Lives Matter movement and how diverse voices impact and improve collaboration and creativity.

Behind the Lens panel
Photographers and other experts behind the lens speak to the historical relationship between racism and the camera, the lack of Black creatives in the field, and how to create opportunities for BIPOC to thrive in the industry.

Moderator: Tiffany Reid, fashion director of Bustle Digital Group

Panelists include:
Christian Cody, director and photographer (SCAD B.F.A., photography, 2016)
T Cooper, celebrity makeup artist and founder of Major Face
