Coffee with Curators for Friends of the Museums
Harvard Art Museums, 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA
Join us for coffee and conversation with Audrey Sands, the Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography and curator of The Way We Never Were: The American Professional Photographers Collection (August 29, 2026–May 9, 2027). Discover the photographs that shaped America’s postwar identity and explore how professional photography created idealized visions of American life while revealing the social tensions beneath the surface. Gain a fresh perspective on how these images continue to shape our understanding of the past. Following the discussion, we invite you to view The Way We Never Were in person on Level 3.
