Arts, music, performing arts, photography, and visual culture

“Visual culture is central to meaning making, and meaning making is central to the production of knowledge. The books we publish at the MIT Press probe the ways that visual culture is inscribed with power, and they unflinchingly examine what is at stake in that power. They amplify understudied subjects; they advance the field through inclusive contributions to knowledge; and they reveal how what we see—and what remains hidden from view—is related to equity and justice. Our readers know that visual culture is never neutral. They want to navigate its complex terrain while making smart decisions about how and what they visually consume.”
