In the wake of an unprecedented year of protests, this conversation explores how artists and scholars use photography to record demonstrations of dissent. Focusing on documentation of protests in Los Angeles since the 1960s, moderators Allissa Richardson and Alex Jones explore the practice of protest photography with local artists George Rodriguez and Ted Soqui, contextualizing contemporary photojournalism in a broader historical framework of documentary photography and drawing on protest imagery in the Getty Research Institute collections.

Códice Maya de México
Around 900 years ago, a Maya scribe made the Códice Maya de México, a sacred book that tracked and predicted movements of the planet Venus. Today it is the oldest book of the Americas, one of only four surviving Maya manuscripts that predate the arrival of Europeans. A remarkable testament to the complexity of Indigenous astronomy, the Codice on display in the US for the first time in 50 years.
