Please join us for the 2025 Arnold and Augusta Newman Lecture with artist Stephanie Syjuco. Following her lecture, Syjuco will be joined by Mia's Chair of Global Contemporary Art, Casey Riley, for a conversation about her practice. Syjuco works in photography, sculpture, and installation, moving from handmade and craft-inspired mediums to digital editing and archive excavations. Recently, she has focused on how photography and image-based processes are implicated in the construction of exclusionary narratives of history and citizenship.
