Zoe Strauss's Real and Imagined Class at Cal Arts

Zoe posted that she was teaching this class on Facebook. It looks very interesting as right in line with our classes this spring. She writes: "The “Real and Imagined” workshop will address the inherent contradiction present in all still photographs: photos are simultaneously fact and fiction."
