Virtual | DC BreakfastTable Special: Faith Flanagan Fellows

8:30am ET

Join ArtTable’s DC Chapter for a presentation by the 2021 Faith Flanagan Fellows. For this special BreakfastTable, the Fellows will present their engagement projects undertaken over their course of the fellowship.

Learn more about Mehveş Lelic’s Choose-Your-Own-Adventure story titled, How to Curate an Exhibition. Sourced from anecdotes submitted anonymously by womxn working in the visual arts, the story leads the reader through a number of plot twists that either culminate in a successful or an unsuccessful exhibition. View the story here.

Johanna Obenda’s audio story profiles a handful of DC-area cultural practitioners who are working to reimagine cultural institutions and how we engage with visual arts in a variety of ways. Obenda engages healing artist Geo Edwards, Kristi Maiselman, Executive Director of Cultural DC, and Loretta Thompson, a visual artist and arts administrator for Sitar Arts Center who have each disrupted traditional approaches to arts engagement. Listen to the audio story here.

Susannah Stern hosts a conversation with Lena Galperina, Visitor Experience Director at ARTECHOUSE, Don Allen Stevenson III, Artist and XR Content Creator, and Charlotte Ickes, Curator of Time-Based Media and Special Projects, about their unique perspectives on immersive, technology-based art, opening the door to an honest look at the trend toward art as experience. Listen to the conversation here.

Special thanks to this year’s mentors: Nora Halpern, Victoria Reis, and Vesela Stretenovic.
