About this Event
We are honored to continue our 2025 Spring Lecture Series with acclaimed photographers Tara Sellios and Julie Blankenship. Each artist delves into themes of life’s impermanence, memory, and identity, using their distinctive media to uncover deep and thought-provoking narratives.
Tara Sellios, celebrated for her emotive still-life photography, contemplates the fragility of life and the passage of time. Julie Blankenship, known for blending found photographs with mixed media, explores the intersection of personal and collective memory, inviting reflection on how we shape our identities through imagery.
This special evening promises to be an inspiring exploration of how visual storytelling can transform fleeting moments into lasting, meaningful reflections on the human experience.
