Educated at San José State University, Binh Danh has emerged as an artist of national importance with work that investigates his Vietnamese heritage and our collective memory of war. He will speak about mortality, memory, history, and landscape. Danh is known for his invention of the chlorophyll printing process, in which photographic images appear embedded in leaves through the action of photosynthesis. His recent work focuses on the daguerreotype process.

Lunchtime Lectures take place on the first Wednesday of each month in the Charlotte Wendel Education Center. Visitors are welcome to bring food and beverages.
