REFOCUSING: Stitched Together

  • Blue Sky Gallery 122 Northwest 8th Avenue Portland, OR, 97209 United States (map)

Stitched Together

How can a woman alter an image someone else takes of her, in order to more fully express her own artistry?  How can a photographer collaborate with the women who appear in her photographs, to resist objectifying them? How can the intricacy of an embroidery stitch convey the immensity and diversity of India?

 Join us on Zoom on Wed, Sep 21 at 5:30 PM (PT) as Lois Leveen leads a discussion of photographs by Spandita Malik and embroidery by women from Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.

Malik’s exhibition, Nā́rī - Threads of Identity, is on view at Blue Sky throughout September.
