Free Event
Zoom Info Session with Emile Kees
Join us for a free 30-minute info session to meet Emile Kees and hear about his upcoming StrudelmediaLive class The Plasticity of Memory: Creating New Work from Your Personal Archives.
This class invites you to consider what constitutes an archive — from official documentation to whatever is in your pocket — and explore how these materials can inform your photographic practice. Particularly suited to photographers who work with domestic space, family or chosen family, personal histories or the plasticity of memory. Bring your questions!
The class was amazing…. Emile was incredibly insightful and had so much to share about writing, which I found extremely helpful. The readings were inspiring, and I really enjoyed the assignments and lectures. It was also wonderful to meet the other participants, and I loved getting to see everyone’s work.
