You Should Have Seen It: A Discussion with Christina Schlesinger and Mike Henderson, Moderated by James Lowry

Sunday, May 12, 2024
3PM EST
RSVP to Zoom
Please note this meeting will not be recorded 


This past winter, the Skowhegan Alliance published You Should Have Seen It, a zine of lost and destroyed artwork. Of its many incredible examples of loss and heartbreak, one story stood out as a critical moment in two artists’ practices. Join Christina Schlesinger and Mike Henderson in dialogue about their respective relationships with activism and archives, using the destroyed fresco mural they made on campus in 1968 as a launching point. 

This discussion, moderated by James Lowry (archivist, curator, and professor at Queens College, CUNY), will focus on the nature of activist art and the politics of documentation. This panel will be conducted via Zoom and will take place on Sunday, May 12th at 3 PM. We’re looking forward to what will be a generative discussion and hope to see you there!
