Beginning with her documentation of the women\u2019s liberation movement in Denmark in the 1970s and spanning her time as a staff photographer at the <em>Boston Herald <\/em>to her time in Maine, the exhibition demonstrates Graber Jensen\u2019s commitment to photography as a critical mode of communication and historical preservation.<strong> <\/strong>Newly printed and archival photographs will be presented alongside magazines, newspaper clippings, and other ephemera that explore the full life of a photograph and the nuances of visual storytelling in the hands of our very own Phyllis Graber Jensen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will be accompanied by a book, published in collaboration with the Bates Office of Communications and Marketing, celebrating thirty years of Graber Jensen\u2019s photographic record of life at Bates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phyllis Graber Jensen (b. 1954) is Director of Photography and Video for the Office of Communications and Marketing at Bates College. Prior to joining Bates as a staff writer in 1995, Graber Jensen worked in photojournalism for the Maine Times, The Boston Herald, The Associated Press, and the City of Boston. She holds an M.S. in Journalism from Boston University and a B.S. in Human Development from Cornell University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curated by Dr. Carrie Cushman, Director of the Bates College Museum of Art, the exhibition is made possible with funding from the Jane Costello Wellehan Endowment Fund and the Alex Katz Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banner image: Phyllis Graber Jensen, <em>Little Karin<\/em>, 1975, Gelatin silver print, Courtesy of the artist<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 12 &#8211; September 19, 2026 Phyllis Graber Jensen: Picture Stories chronicles&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1626,"featured_media":21774,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":true,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-21751","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1626"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21751"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21865,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21751\/revisions\/21865"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
