SUMMARY:Artist Conversation: Ingrid Pollard
DESCRIPTION:    \n  \nLAGBAC\, Chicago’s LGBTQ+ Bar Association and the LGBTQ Section of the Cook County Bar Association (CCBA) cordially invite you to visit the Art Institute of Chicago for “Artist Conversation: Ingrid Pollard”.  This conversation features Ingrid Pollard\, a renowned artist\, alongside scholar\, Hazel V. Carby.  They will discuss Pollard’s work displayed in the exhibitions. \nIngrid Pollard was born in Georgetown\, Guyana\, in 1953. She completed a BA in film and video at the London College of Printing\, an MA in photographic studies at Derby University\, and a PhD at the University of Westminster. \nPollard is a photographer\, media artist\, and researcher with a social practice centered on issues of representation and history within the British landscape\, particularly focusing on race\, gender\, and the concept of other. Her work is often based on lengthy research into archives and environments\, and her photo-based practice interrogates the hidden and explicit ideologies that underpin our popular visual cultures\, aesthetic regimes\, and art histories. \nPollard lives and works in Northumberland. \n\n\nHazel V. Carby is the Charles C. and Dorothea S. Dilley Professor Emeritus at Yale University. She is a pioneer in the fields of black feminism and a leading scholar in black diasporic literature and culture. Her book Imperial Intimacies: A Tale of Two Islands (2019) won the British Academy’s Nayef Al-Rodhan Prize for Global Cultural Understanding and was named a “Book of the Year” by the Times Literary Supplement. She is also the author of influential works such as Reconstructing Womanhood (1987) and Race Men (1998). \n\n\n  \nWHEN: Thursday\, February 13\, 2025 \nTIME: 6:00 – 7:00 PM \nWHERE: The Art Institute of Chicago | Fullerton Hall \nChicago Residents – FREE* \n  \n \n  \n  \n*If you are not a Chicago resident\, the museum entry fee is required.
