Important Notes
This is not a guided tour. This is informal art exploration and discussion.
We'll move through Wieland's paintings, textiles, films, and assemblages together using a shared analytical approach.
Bring curiosity about how art intersects with areas like ecology and politics etc.
The poster image for this event is from Joyce Wieland, Young Woman's Blues, 1964.

A1: Everyone is welcome no matter the age, gender, race, orientation, ethnicity, ability, political affiliation, etc. We prefer people who are kind, open, and nuanced in their approach when meeting new people. We prefer people who ask questions in good faith rather than leading with assumptions. If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you.
