Lecture with Yasmina Price
Yasmina Price will situate both of Bemis’s exhibitions – Miatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding and MOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape – within contemporary critical discourse, addressing how artists engage memory as both a site of rupture and possibility.
Admission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged. Visit the event website for more information, or to register.
Yasmina Price is a writer, researcher, and PhD candidate in the Departments of African American Studies and Film & Media Studies at Yale University. She focuses on anti-colonial African cinema and the work of visual artists across the Black diaspora, with a particular interest in the experimental work of women filmmakers.
MOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape brings together photographers Rachel Cox and Rose Marie Cromwell, whose distinct yet overlapping practices explore the complexities of closeness—emotional, physical, and spatial.
Miatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding is a multi-gallery exhibition that explores hybridity, memory, and sustenance through mixed-media works, sculpture, video, and text.
