As Penny Siopis’ acclaimed exhibition For Dear Life comes to a close (on 16.2), ΕΜΣΤ invites to you to a presentation by the artist followed by a conversation with Katerina Gregos, Artistic Director of EMΣΤ and curator of the exhibition, about the artist’s life and work. Through an illustrated talk, Penny Siopis will delve into her artistic practice, her formative experiences and what she has called “a poetics of vulnerability”. For fifty years Siopis has responded to, and reimagined, in complex, edgy, and multidimensional forms, the entangled histories through which she has lived, times marked by radical social and political change. Conjoining feminism, activism, anti-colonial critique into a rich artistic language informed by her Greek and South African roots, this is an opportunity for viewers to engage further in depth with the artist’s unique practice.
