Our Family, Our Home: SVA at Photoville 2021
This panel explores the themes of family and home which are found in the current neighboring Photoville 2021 exhibits on Pier 3 in Brooklyn Bridge Park from SVA's Division of Continuing Education and the Masters in Digital Photography. In concert with SVACE’s 5th annual Art & Activism event, “Our House: Claiming Home Through Art and Design,” artists and curators from the exhibit will explore questions such as what it means to be at home in our bodies and our communities; how we define love and family; and how we care for our home, planet Earth. The panel will include several of the 50+ artists and the two curators, Keren Moscovitch and Jaime Permuth.
