Grounding Practice: American Artist

Artist Zofia Kulik joins curator Fiona Rogers to discuss her extensive body of work, journeying from her earlier works as part of the avant-garde duo KwieKulik, to the development of her solo career in the late 1980s. Inspired by eroticism, feminism, and the political and social developments of post-war Poland, Kulik's work offers a radical critique of not only what it means to be an artist and a woman, but of what it means to be human.

Photographer Sakir Khader and curator Aya Musa come together in a conversation moderated by curator Dalia Al-Dujaili, focusing on their collaboration on Sakir’s first solo museum exhibition Yawm al-Firak, Arabic for Day of Separation. They will share their experiences working as photographers in conflict zones, discuss the responsibilities of institutions, and explore the ethical choices involved in presenting complex narratives in cultural spaces.

Sir Don McCullin is certainly one of Britain’s best known journalists. His searing reporting from the torn places of the world became a part of the national vocabulary. Still working today, Sir Don casts a very long and thoughtful view at the uses and costs of photography.
