GLS Alum Exhibits New Work

"Beirut," an exhibit of new photos by GLS alumus John Bechtold  opens at Horse & Buggy Press in Durham, on Saturday, January 26, with a reception from 2-4 PM. The exhibit runs through February 22.  John, a US Army veteran, completed his MALS degree at Duke in 2017, where he became interested in using still photography, short audio documentary, and narrative to tell stories about people and their place. Much of his work explores how political violence shapes the lives of people who live through war. John is currently a PhD fellow in American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
