Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join McEvoy Foundation for the Arts for Person. Woman. Camera. TV., a lively discussion on technology and the female body on Saturday, March 5 at 3pm. The free conversation, moderated by curator Corey Keller, features pioneering media artist Lynn Hershman Leeson and feminist scholar Peggy Phelan.

Hershman Leeson’s work has long investigated the power of technology to frame and control the self. Phelan is a renowned feminist scholar whose work is foundational to the field of performance studies. Keller has curated exhibitions and written about a wide array of photographers, including Susan Meiselas, Clare Strand, and Francesca Woodman.

Person. Woman. Camera. TV. is presented in conjunction with Image Gardeners, an exhibition at McEvoy Arts that features eight decades of portrait photography by women and non-binary artists such as Hershman Leeson who challenge dominant conventions of representation. In the Screening Room, Gina Basso guest curates seen only, heard only through someone else’s description, a related program of experimental short films that offer fresh visions of moving image portraiture and nonfiction explorations of community. Admission to McEvoy Arts is free.
