Julie Platner in conversation with Phyllis Dooney

Julie Platner is a photographer and filmmaker currently living in North Carolina. She has been documenting patriotic, white-nationalist fervor in the United States for over a decade. Observing and recording the spectacle of “true Americanism” across the country, her work reveals the banality found in extremism.

Fellow North Carolina-based artist and author of the 2017 photobook, Gravity is Stronger Here, Phyllis Dooney, will join in the conversation.
