Minnesota Street Project presents a special conversation with acclaimed arts writers Carol Kino and Tony Bravo. On the occasion of the publication of Kino’s first book, a riveting dual biography about identical twin sisters who became groundbreaking photographers in New York during the glamorous magazine golden age of the 1930s and 40s, these two creative thinkers will dive deep into the book’s themes of photography, journalism, fashion, and more.
Carol Kino’s writing about art, artists, the art world, and contemporary culture has appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Slate, Town & Country, and just about every major art magazine. She was formerly a fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center at the New York Public Library and the USC Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism Program. She grew up on the Stanford campus in Northern California and lives in Manhattan. Double Click is her first book.
Tony Bravo is the San Francisco Chronicle’s Arts & Culture writer. He primarily covers visual arts, the LGBTQ community and pop culture. His column appears in print every Monday in Datebook. Bravo joined the Chronicle staff in 2015 as a reporter for the Style section and also wrote the relationship column Connectivity. He is the host of the live interview series Show & Tell every month at Four One Nine and created the VoiceMap Chronicle LGBTQ audio tour Over the Rainbow in the Castro, available for download on the app. Bravo is also an adjunct instructor at the City College of San Francisco Fashion Department, where he teaches journalism.
Double Click: Twin Photographers in the Golden Age of Magazines
The McLaughlin twins were trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in their time as stars in their respective fields, but have largely been forgotten since. Here, in Double Click, author Carol Kino provides us with a fascinating window into the golden era of magazine photography and the first young women’s publications, bringing these two brilliant women and their remarkable accomplishments to vivid life. Pulling back the curtain on an electric, creative time in New York’s history, and rich with original research, Double Click is cultural reportage and biography at its finest.
Copies of the book will be available for sale, and there will be an opportunity for a signing by the author.
