Gilbertson will give a lecture on his work. All events are free and open to the public. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot will feature 10 of Gilbertson's photographs, chronicling America's early battles in Iraq, the initial occupation of Baghdad, the insurgency that erupted shortly afterward, the dramatic battle to overtake Fallujia, and, ultimately, the country's first national elections. This wide-ranging chronicle of the war from the view point of the photographer is the first of its kind.
