Stephen Hilger will be at Ogden After Hours signing his new book “Back of Town” (SPQR Editions, 2016). Hilger is a photographer based in Brooklyn whose work traces historical memory in the social landscape. His monograph, Back of Town, chronicles the disappearance over time of a New Orleans neighborhood first devastated by Katrina, then razed to make way for two new hospitals. Hilger received his B.A. and M.F.A. degrees from Columbia University and was a fellow in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Independent Study Program. He currently teaches at Pratt Institute where he is the Chair of the Photography Department.
