Creative Conversations/digital: Peggy Sue Amison

Saturday, June 20 | 2PM 

Amison will present a brief introduction to her current project, In Transit, a group exhibition at the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork Ireland that focuses on the “tentative, limbo-like experience of living between different cultures, exploring the stories of immigrants who traverse the no-man’s land that exists between home and hope.”

Following her presentation, she will be joined by Steven Evans to discuss the shared relationships between the themes and ideas explored in In Transit, and those in the FotoFest Biennial 2020 central exhibition African Cosmologies: Photography, Time, and the Other, curated by Mark Sealy.
