Join artist Deborah Jack for a film screening and discussion with Simone Cambridge (UMass) on Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 5pm in Graham Hall.

This event is part of Art Stockings: Dialogues on Art, Gender, and Cultural Theory. Created by Professor Alex Callender, Art Stockings invites a diverse group of women-identified and nonbinary artists to talk about their work, ideas and process.

Deborah Jack's visit coincides with the exhibition of her video, the water between us remembers, so we carry this history on our skins, long for a sea-bath and hope that the salt will heal what ails us (2018), at SCMA through February 4, 2024.
