Follow-up Event: May 23rd, 2024 @ 7 PM

Join us for this follow-up event, in which writer, curator, and artist Lucy Cotter will delve into her new essay for the expanded edition of Reclaiming Artistic Research, which looks at he stakes of artistic research in a world reckoning with social justice, climate change, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Teasing out the unique forms of knowing and unknowing specific to artmaking, she will reflect on what they mean for the world today. She looks forward to opening up discussion around these ideas.
