This event is included with Museum admission.Celebrate Dona Ann’s McAdams’ photographic memoir, Black Box
Please join us to celebrate the publication of the new photographic memoir from Sandgate photographer Dona Ann McAdams. Black Box marries McAdams’ iconic images with her own short lyric texts. Together they form a tender poetic portrait of a young female working-class artist, as well as an unapologetic history of the Queer Liberation Movement, the Culture Wars, and the Performance Art scene of the 1980s and 1990s. From her encounters with artist intellectuals such as Angela Davis, David Wonarowicz, Maurice Sendak, and Meredith Monk, to her humorous self portraits, Black Box is a book about photography itself as the keeper and framer of memory.
McAdams will be joined by curator, artist, and filmmaker, John Killacky. Killacky will share his documentary about McAdams and participate in a question and answer session with her. Copies of McAdams’ book will be available for purchase and signing. Black Box is published by Saint Lucy Books.
