From Long Island, To San Francisco, To Australia, Photographer Dona Ann McAdams Looks Back at 50 Years of Pictures

These days, photographer Dona Ann McAdams lives on a goat farm in Vermont. But a new exhibit of her work incorporates five decades of her photography from around the world. "Dona Ann McAdams: 'Black | Box'" is on view at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery through June 7. She discusses her practice, explains how her childhood growing up in Ronkonkoma on Long Island informed her interest in photography, and shares stories from her adventures in California and New York, including her gig as the longtime staff photographer of Performance Space 122. Dona will be at Park Avenue Armory on Friday April 25 at 3 pm for a photography show event, and will also be in conversation with poet Eileen Myles at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery on Thursday May 15 at 6:30 pm.
