On Saturday, December 12, at 3 pm join Jean-Pierre Laffont as he signs copies of his new photobook, Rebels with a Cause (Damiani, 2026).

Rebels with a Cause presents Jean-Pierre Laffont’s deeply personal photobook on a formative period of American history, when counterculture ignited a series of cultural revolutions that continue to shape our lives today.

As the first French photographer to dedicate his life to documenting America from the 1960s to 1980s, Jean-Pierre Laffont’s iconic photographs offer an outsider’s perspective on the phenomena of a generation defined by their drive to question established norms.

The event is free and open to all.
