A star-studded assembly of curators and theorists reflect on the image as a social "currency"

Using the theme of currency to invite reflection on the contemporary power of the photograph to relay meaning across distance, this volume explores the value of photography in the 21st century--its relationship to value-making, canon-making, circulation and knowledge production. At a time when the production, distribution and consumption of photographic images has become ubiquitous, the digital image has become the exchange currency on social platforms. This critical reader gathers international perspectives reflecting on how photography shapes today's narratives and our perception and experience of the world.
