Art by Raven Jiang for Henry Luce Foundation

What does a photograph prove—and who gets to decide? Recorded live at MacDowell, archaeologist Nam Kim, curator and Magnum Foundation executive director Kristen Lubben, and photographer Accra Shepp join Sean Buffington on this episode of Luce Change to wrestle with photography’s contested role as historical evidence.  

At a moment when AI is blurring the line between documentation and fabrication, their discussion cuts to the heart of how we trust images.
