We usually view photographs without hearing from those pictured or from the photographers who took them. An international project, “Molten Light: The Intertwined History of Steel and Photography,” seeks to bridge this gap by integrating oral histories with a multinational photographic exhibition that explores the intertwined histories of steel and photography. The exhibition and related books and educational materials will incorporate interviews with more than thirty photographers whose images will be featured, along with interviews and other first-person accounts from steelworkers, their families, other residents of steel communities, sculptors, steel magnates, builders, and others whose lives and work have intersected with the manufacturing and use of steel around the world.
