Photographer and educator Zora J. Murff creates pictures of people and the urban and natural environments that surround them. For some projects, he also incorporates appropriated imagery to reflect on his own experiences and to examine social and racial injustices. His work considers minimized histories, experiences of being a Black person in America, and the ways visual culture shapes and is shaped by us.

Zora J. Murff’s monograph True Colors (or, Affirmations in a Crisis) was published by Aperture in 2022 and he received a prestigious Infinity Award from the International Center for Photography in 2023. Currently, he is Assistant Professor of Photography at University of Oregon.

This program is presented in connection with the photography exhibition What We’ve Been Up To: People , February 8 – September 29, 2026.
