Emily Wiethorn: Image as Evidence

April Continental Breakfast Meeting
Saturday, April 18, 2026

Emily Wiethorn will reflect on her career as an artist and educator based in Cincinnati, tracing the development of her photographic practice. She will share selections from multiple bodies of work that examine trauma, mental health, and the lasting impact of PTSD, with a focus on generational experiences and the ways close relationships shape identity. Emily will also introduce a new project in progress, opening up a conversation around its conceptual direction and how it extends her ongoing exploration of trauma narratives through photography.

Emily is the Assistant Professor of Art & Design in the Department of Creative Studies at Mount St. Joseph University. She researches generational mental health trauma and how our close relationships affect our identities. Emily is the current Chair of the Midwest Chapter of the Society for Photographic Education.
