Photographer to speak, show work done with son
Tim Archibald, a self-proclaimed “photo nerd,” has a story to tell about the work he does in collaboration with his son, Elijah, who is on the autism spectrum. The work, which includes photos that are about a relationship with him, his son and “the shared stuff,” is collected in an award-winning book called “Echolilia.”
Archibald will speak at BGSU as a guest of the School of Art’s photography division at 5 p.m. Feb. 18 in 204 Fine Arts Center. He hopes to attract a range of people from across campus and the community to generate questions and discussions based on his lecture, which is free and open to the public.
He also will present a workshop to students in the community projects in photography class, and work with students’ concepts and approaches to working with individuals from Wood Lane with developmental disabilities.
In conjunction with Archibald’s talk, seven of his photographs will be displayed in the School of Art’s lobby cases. The photos are on loan from the Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s “Echolilia” 11-photograph collection.
Attendees with disabilities should indicate the special services, assistance or appropriate modifications needed to fully participate by contacting BGSU Accessibility Services by phone at 2-8495 or by email at access@bgsu.edu prior to the event.
