FotoFocus, the Cincinnati-based nonprofit dedicated to lens-based art, presented Vietnamese-American photographer An-My Le as the 2025 speaker in its Lecture and Visiting Artist Series. The free lecture took place March 6 at the Cincinnati Art Museum’s Fath Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.

Le, a photographer, filmmaker, and author, has spent her 30-year career documenting war, landscape, and displacement. Her work was the subject of a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (2023-2024) titled “Between Two Rivers,” featuring three decades of photographs alongside work in video, textile, and sculpture. An earlier traveling exhibition, “On Contested Terrain” (2020-2021), originated at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh before moving to the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum. At the time of the lecture announcement, Le had a solo show, “Dark Star/Grey Wolf,” on view at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York through February 22, 2025.

FotoFocus Artistic Director and Curator Kevin Moore said Le is “a singular voice in photography” whose work “combines personal history with geo-politics in a brave, elegant and thoughtful way.” The lecture followed FotoFocus’s 2024 Biennial, which featured 107 projects and drew more than 300,000 attendees.
