More art as political engagement: Melanie Friend

Sarah Schuster said...

The Yes Men brought an exciting perspective on art to the campus...I have seldom seen a turnout like the one at West Lecture Hall when they gave their lecure! I hope some, if not all of you, will join the Art Department and GAWS in welcoming visiting artist/photographer, Melanie Friend, (from England) when she lectures on her Photographs in Classroom 1 on Tuesday, October 16th at 4:30. Melanie's work also uses art as a form of political activism, though she does this through the medium of photography. For students interested in political engagement through art this lecture will be an interesting follow up on the Yes Men. Hope to see you there!
