The Program in Visual Arts at Johns Hopkins University invites you to a Visiting Artist Talk with Photographer Phyllis Arbesman Berger.
Berger recently retired after 31 years of teaching at Johns Hopkins University, where she founded the photography program. While at the Program in Visual Arts, Phyllis taught interdisciplinary courses at the Writing Seminars, History of Science, Political Science, Museum Studies, and the Peabody Conservatory of Music Theory Program.
She led summer study abroad programs in Photography at the Burren College of Art in County Clare, Ireland, The Photography Studies College in Melbourne, Australia, and the International Center for the Arts in Monte Castello Di Vibio, Umbria, Italy. Phyllis has lectured on Photography in Ecuador, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Galápagos Islands, and Croatia through Alumni Journeys at JHU.
In retirement, she continues to educate through her artistic practice. Her current work focuses on the ARTIS Zoo in Amsterdam as a site of survival during the holocaust. This work will be exhibited in Villafranche-de-Rouergue, France, in Sept. 2027.
