Co-presented with Alma | Lewis, this special event explores the Pandora's BoxX Project, created by artist Grace Roselli. This photographic portrait series portrays the changing face and profound cultural influence of womxn, including trans, non-binary, gender queer, and female individuals, through their art over the past six decades. It constructs a record of contemporary and historical womxn creators and art workers who have reshaped how we experience art and culture through their work, thus challenging our perspectives on what we value in society and, by extension, our lives.
This event will begin with a presentation from Grace Roselli, followed by a panel discussion with womxn from the project, Jo-Anne Bates, Fran Flaherty, Kilolo Luckett, and Diane Samuels, moderated by Helen Trompeteler, Deputy Director of Programs, Silver Eye. An open Q&A will further invite the sharing of narratives and experiences of our own arts communities.
