Talk

MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with photographer and faculty member Stacy Renee Morrison. Morrison often forgets what century it is, as she spends her time in the present creating visual biographies for women from the past. Morrison has exhibited her photographs nationally and internationally, including New York City, Rhode Island, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Italy, Argentina, and Korea. Her photographs have been published in The Creative Independent, Harper’s Magazine, Dear Dave, Feature Shoot, and Photography Quarterly. She was awarded grants from NYFA and the Rhode Island Council of the Humanities. Morrison is currently working on an illustrated narrative non-fiction book about her 19th-century muse, named Sylvia, and has also launched a clothing line named for her, made of hand-screen-printed vintage clothing and accessories. Morrison teaches in the MFA Visual Narrative, BFA Photography and Video, and Humanities and Sciences Departments at the School of Visual Arts. She is a still-life photographer who makes quiet, polite, and sometimes macabre photographs. She never misses an opportunity to dress up as a 19th-century woman.

Starting in 2011 and after over 250 lectures, the i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration Lecture series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists, and industry experts. The fall 2025 i3 Lecture season is curated and hosted by MPS Digital Photography faculty member Julie Grahame. Most past lectures are available on YouTube and Vimeo.
