Lindsay Morris, an acclaimed photographer, will be the next guest in the In Conversation series at The Church on Friday at 5 p.m.
Ms. Morris, who lives in Sag Harbor not far from The Church, will discuss her project “The Kids of Camp I Am,” a follow-up documentation about Camp I Am, a weekend camp for gender-creative children and their families. The update, featured in The New York Times Magazine, will explore new photographs and writing from former campers who are now young adults.
While sharing excerpts from those essays, Ms. Morris will invite the audience to continue the dialogue about how nonjudgmental surroundings can provide life-changing support and how such environments welcome a wide range of gender expressions. A question-and-answer session will follow her talk.
Ms. Morris is known for documenting events in her personal life and her community. She received her B.F.A. from the University of Michigan School of Art and continued her studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the School for International Training in Kenya.
Her work has been published in Time magazine, New York magazine, Vanity Fair, Scientific American, GEO International, Marie Claire, and Elle, among others. She is a producer of the 2016 BBC documentary “My Transgender Summer Camp,” and published her monograph “You Are You,” which documented Camp I Am. She was a TEDWomen speaker in October 2023 and received a JGS Photography Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts the same year.
Tickets are $15, $10 for members.
In conjunction with its current exhibition, “Martha Graham: Collaborations,” The Church will screen “Martha Graham: The Dancer Revealed,” a feature-length documentary produced in 1994 for PBS’s “American Masters” series, on Saturday afternoon at 5.
The film will be followed by a conversation between Susan Lacy, its executive producer and the creator, in 1986, of the “American Masters” series, and Sheri L. Pasquarella, The Church’s executive director.
The hourlong film, directed by Catherine Tatge and narrated by Claire Bloom, traces Graham’s career from her early days with the Denishawn dance company through the formation of her own troupe. It continues to document Graham’s emergence as one of the most important and influential figures in 20th-century dance.
As the creator of the “American Masters” series, Ms. Lacy helped lay the groundwork for cultural history and biography of substance on American television, says The Church. As its executive producer for almost 30 years, she earned the series 27 Emmy Awards. She also produced and directed documentaries for the series on Leonard Bernstein, Bob Dylan, Judy Garland, John Lennon, and Paul Simon, to name only a few.
Since leaving PBS for a long-term production deal with HBO, she has directed and produced “Spielberg” (2017), “Jane Fonda in Five Acts” (2018), “Very Ralph” (2019), and “Billy Joel: And So It Goes” (2025).
Tickets are $15, $10 for members.
