One of five lectures I attended in Chautauqua’s “Amp,” featured a lively question and answer session with Ava DuVernay, the director of “Selma,” a film about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights march. I found a seat in the front row, and from there I could make this unobstructed image of DuVernay as she responded to a question. The image not only captures DuVernay as she gestures and makes eye contact with thousands of Chautauqua participants. It places her amidst an array of geometric shapes, each symbolizing various and often opposing ideas.
