ROCKPORT — Photographer Madeleine Budd plans to share images from her body of work, “Street Fam,” during her online lecture, “Storytelling Through Portraiture” at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23.

This event is part of the Alumni Lecture Series, a weekly online series offered by Maine Media Workshops + College featuring conversations on topics in photography, filmmaking, book arts and design, and writing, according to a news release from the institution.

“Street Fam” documents Budd’s friends in the streets of Harlem and Brooklyn during her college years (2010-2014), when Budd says she gained her understanding of community. The series is a testament to the discomfort as well as the joy that comes with recognizing cultural and racial differences within personal relationships.

The images were self-published and exhibited at Milk Studios. Budd graduated from the Parsons School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2014.

Maine Media Provost Elizabeth Greenberg will host the lecture.

The series is free and open to the public through the  sponsorship of Camden National Bank, WERU Community Radio FM89.9, Eaton Peabody Attorneys at Law, Allen Insurance and Financial, Two Ponds Press, Page Gallery, B&H Photo and Video, and Cedar Crest Inn, as well as through donations from individuals.

Maine Media Workshops + College is a nonprofit degree granting institution offering more than 500 workshops annually in the fields of photography, film, printmaking, creative writing and book arts, and serves over 2,400 national and international students online and on its campus.
