DPI Presents: DPI Professor Editha Mesina's Book Launch

September 9, 2026 | 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Tisch School of the Arts, Department of Photography & Imaging

Riese Lounge, 1st Floor

Editha Mesina’s Chronicle presents photographic work of family life, tracing an intimate geography that stretches from Quezon City, Philippines, her birthplace to her home in New York. These views meditate on the vernacular and combine references to protests supporting Philippine human rights with nods to the medium of photography. Constructed in panorama format, the photographs are individual frames stitched together, assemblages of space and time. Mesina repurposes the panorama format’s known representations of grand vistas to express the reflections of a mother, activist, and photographer. As an immigrant artist, she explores concepts of belonging, diasporic identity, and memory in these quotidian moments.

A government-issued Photo ID must be provided upon entry to the Tisch School of the Arts. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
