Seeing the Self: Women Artists Depict Themselves

Stimulated by the exhibitions Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Art and Life in Modern Mexico and Robin White: Te Whanaketanga | Something is Happening Here, artists Dame Robin White, Claudia Kogachi and Yvonne Todd and Associate Professor Linda Tyler will kōrero the significance of self-portraiture as a subject for women artists. Looking at their own practices and the work of contemporary women artists from Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, the panellists will discuss the role of portraiture in representing a ‘self’ which is shaped by gender, sex, age, culture, environment and human experience.

This free talk begins at 6pm, with a pay bar and nibbles from 7pm. Please note this event is R18
