EAHR Speaker Series - Zoë Chan and Cheryl Sim - Nov 9
“Zoë Chan and Cheryl Sim will discuss the highs and lows of trying to curate, program, and/or make artworks that are critical, pleasurable, personal, political, erudite, and engaging. Do we ever fail? Of course. Do we sometimes wonder why we started working in this field in the first place? A little too often actually. Will we ever be totally satisfied with the results of our efforts? Probably not. Will we still keep trying? Yes.”
Nov 9 (Wed) 6-7:30pm
