Live! at the Library: Women in Photography

The Library of Congress’s free weekly after-hours gathering has a pair of evenings dedicated to Women’s History Month. This Thursday features photojournalist Sharon Farmer, the first woman and first African American to be director of the White House Photography Office, and Anne Tucker, curator emerita at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, discussing the history of female photographers in conjunction with the library’s ongoing “Not an Ostrich” exhibit, which draws from the library’s vast collection of more than 14 million photographs to highlight a selection of 400 images. Free timed entry tickets are required. Reservations are also open for Live! at the Library on March 30, when veterans of Olivia Records, a woman-run record label founded in D.C. in the 1970s, will talk about their experiences with historian Bonnie Morris.

When: Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Where: Library of Congress, 10 First St. SE. loc.gov.

Tickets: Free; advance registration required.
