Discussion | Hidden Labor in the Art and Craft of Papermaking (online)


In this talk, artists Aimee Lee and Velma Bolyard will discuss their creative work in and with handmade paper and the traditions they draw on, based on their recent essays in Papermaker’s Tears: Essays on the Art and Craft of Papermaking, Volume 2. In conversation with the series editor Tatiana Ginsberg, Dieu Donné Director of Artistic Projects, Aimee and Velma will discuss their research and personal experiences of keeping traditions alive through use.

Discussion | Eco-Poiesis Beyond Empire


Curator and writer Omar Berrada and scholar Sarah Cervenak to present on their intersectional explorations of ecology, migration, gender, race, and coloniality. Cervenak will draw on excerpts from her two recent monographs, which attend to how Black women artists have taken up questions of wandering and gathering as ecological desire in their visual practices. This will be followed by Berrada’s reading of a suite of poems that offer up landscape and exilic distance to grapple with the politics of translation and the phenomenology of imperialism. Together, these presentations center the force of the poetic imagination in figuring alternative environmental possibilities.
