Artist Clarissa Sligh Oct 19


This just in from Jasmine Alinder, Associate Professor and Co-Coordinator of Public History at UW-Milwaukee.
Sounds like not to be missed.


Photographer and book artist Clarissa Sligh will offer a presentation in the Ettinger Book Artist Series on Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in Special Collections on the fourth floor of the Golda Meir Library.

Combining photographs, drawings, and texts, Sligh’s installations, alternative photographs, and artist’s books are personal and political reflections of her life experiences as a female African American, beginning at fifteen when she was the lead plaintif in 1955 in Virginia.

Clarissa Sligh’s presence in Milwaukee is a collaboration with Woodland Pattern Book Center, where she will offer a workshop on Sunday, October 17. She will also offer a workshop for selected students at UWM.
