The GradForum invites all @uwmadison students to attend the Writing to the Work panel discussion next Tuesday, November 3rd from 4-5:30pm at the Hagen Room 150 of the @kohlerartlibrary in the Elvehjem Building! Moderated by PhD scholar @defneorucc, the panel will discuss approaches to writing & contemporary art with artists @jblici_photography & @uglyneon & PhD scholars @andrew.all.of.the.time & lakieloulou. Presented as part of the GradForum’s yearly programming, this panel reflects the grad student organization's commitment to creating spaces that examine the links between theory & practice in scholarly exchanges across the @uw_artdept & @uw_arthistory Departments. A descendent of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, Jami Balicki’s work is grounded in the histories & stories passed down through her matriarchal lineage. Her art practice is collaborative & multidisciplinary, incorporating photography, printmaking, papermaking, & text, tracing the intersections between archive, community, & personal experience. Daniella Thach is a Cambodian-American artist based in the Midwest working in light (ពន្លឺ) & new media. Culture & craft go hand in hand in their practice. They are invested in what is passed down from mother to daughter & from master to apprentice; both connections develop deep understandings that hand off traditions into the future. A curator, writer, & practicing artist, Andrew Suggs is an arts & AIDS worker from Appalachian Tennessee. Their work & research focus on contemporary art & HIV/AIDS, queer art & artists, performance, disruptive strategies, & photography. They are a PhD candidate in Art History. A doctoral student, researcher, artist, & curator, Laken Sylvander is the Creative Director & founding Co-Steward of @climatefutures.art, an interdisciplinary home for strengthening narrative power in the climate justice movement. A doctoral student specializing in contemporary art, Defne Oruç’s research explores the variations & refusals of testimony in lens-based media, representations of violence, & imaginaries of peace, truth, & justice across the Middle East & Latin America. #artisttalk #madisonwi #artsatuw #artschool #uwgrad by @lakieloulou
