SPRING 2023

POSTPONED: Deborah Willis: Artists Committed to Memory

New Date TBA
6:30 PM EST
Silver Center for Arts and Science, Room 301

Artists Committed to Memory is a presentation of contemporary art that is inspired by historical memory. The talk will consider in comparative perspectives the historic and contemporary role photography and film have played in remembering legacies of slavery and its aftermath. It addresses the making and uses of photographic archives, the narratives they tell, and the parameters that define them as objects of study. As visual collections, photographic archives present specific concerns, especially as digital technologies change the way knowledge is classified, stored, retrieved, and disseminated. The talk is based on an exhibition and publication that Dr. Willis co-curated with art historian Cheryl Finley in 2022 for FotoFocus.
