In Conversation: Lynne Cooke and Ulrike Müller
Join curator Lynne Cooke and artist Ulrike Müller for the finissage event of Ceija Stojka: Making Visible. In their discussion, Cooke and Müller will address both the retrospective exhibition and the impactful artistic legacy of the Austrian-born Roma artist and activist.
Making Visible features the work of Roma artist, activist, writer, lyricist, and singer Ceija Stojka (1933-2013). Comprising more than sixty artworks, as well as a selection of sketchbooks, archival material, and documentary films made during Stojka’s lifetime, the exhibition explores the fullness of Stojka’s production as a visual artist, centered in her Roma life and heritage. Spurred by the resurgence of extreme right nationalism in Austria and abroad, and by her experiences as a Holocaust survivor, Stojka created works of profound beauty and horror that resonate today in strikingly contemporary terms.
ASL interpreters will be available during this event.
