About this Event
Open to the Public
For this lecture and Q&A session, we will be joined by photographer and artist, Inyang Essien. Drawing on her career experience in social media management, her background as a working artist, and her current role as Digital Content Specialist for the City of Dallas, Inyang will cover the basics of how to best manage your social media presence as an artist. What are the tools for building an impactful presence? How do you prioritize your artistic perspective through content? Most importantly, what tools are needed to strike a balance between your art and content? Stop by The CU and find out!
About Inyang and her artistic practice: “Currently, my work consists of photographic series that speak to the perspectives of individuals from various backgrounds. My parents heavily encouraged us to embrace and respect all cultures from those we encounter. It became important for me to share stories of those who are often overlooked. Common themes in my work include the vibrant history present truth of Black people, varying culture across ethnicities, exploration of identity, and topics surrounding sexuality.
My hope is that through my work, viewers resonate with those they see in the images and others can develop an appreciation that perhaps was not previously there.”
