Depth-of-Field

Photographer Diana Williams struggles to realize her professional, social, and sexual identity in a time when so much changed for American women. From a rural Malaysian village in the late 1960s, to the gritty East Village of Manhattan in the 1980s, to Muslim Northern Ghana in the 1990s, Depth-of-Field shows us the life of an artist in a world where conflicting social forces both punish and liberate her. Through the lens of Diana's story we glimpse images of the times: Vietnam, legacy of colonialism, changing racial realities, the feminist movement, lives of Muslim women, and the art world of New York City.
