In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Dieu Donné Workspace Program, we are pleased to present “Inside the Workspace,” a virtual conversation series featuring artists who have participated in the residency over the years. On November 18th, join Natalie Frank (2015 Workspace Resident) in conversation with Re'al Christian (Writer & Curator) about the Workspace Residency Program at Dieu Donné.
Since its inception, the Workspace Program has attracted a collection of artists who resist easy categorization—thematically, stylistically, and representationally different, our residents' individual practices reveal the broad range of possibilities inherent in hand papermaking. Throughout this conversation series, we will look back on the history of the residency and its artists, while reflecting on the theme of collaboration in a socially distant world.
This online event will take place on Wednesday, November 16th from 2 PM—3 PM EST. This conversation will last approximately 40 minutes, followed by questions. To attend, register via this Eventbrite Portal, as space is limited.
Past Inside the Workspace conversations can be viewed here, with closed captioning available.
This program is pay-as-you-wish, with a suggested minimum donation of $5.00. After registering, attendees will automatically receive a registration confirmation from Eventbrite and a direct email from Zoom with the webinar link and password to join the program.
