Lynn Estomin's Patrick Nagatani: Living in the Story

Center For Creative Photography, UA School of Art, and UA Photography Department present a screening of Lynn Estomin’s Patrick Nagatani: Living In The Story. Living in the Story documents thirty-five years of art-making by photographer Patrick Nagatani. The film portrays an artist deeply concerned with world events, who uses imagery and storytelling to raise awareness about modern anxieties, with an emphasis on the threat of nuclear weapons. Despite the serious content of his subject matter, his innovative images are compelling and entertaining. An engaging raconteur and teacher, Nagatani talks in the film about his projects, his unorthodox photographic techniques, and his subtle weaving together of fiction and fact. Scott Nagatani’s hauntingly beautiful music score provides the film’s soundtrack.  Lynn Estomin, Andrew Smith; Owner of The Andrew Smith Gallery, and David Taylor; UA School Of Art Professor, will speak following the screening.  Seating in the CCP auditorium is first-come, first-served. CCP Members at Supporter level and above are provided with reserved seating. Please arrive no later than 10 minutes prior to the event start time to claim your seats.
