Kreielsheimer Visiting Artist Lecture Series: "New Ways in an Old Tradition: Shared Identities in Portraiture" with June T. Sanders.

About This Event

June T Sanders will be describing her most recent body of work ‘Easy World,’ as well as her overall artistic practice & portraiture ethos. June T Sanders’ photographic work is an invitation to the limits of visibility: Through careful and collaborative moments combined with unreliable equipment - she constructs a landscape of bodies both shielded and confrontational. Her portraits are instances of endearment and discretion. Of Trans-Poetics. A moment and an identity hinted towards but not fully captured.
