Join us for a Q&A between artist Makiko Harris, and collector and independent curator Marcelle Joseph at Kristin Hjellegjerde Tanner Street Gallery.
Saturday, the 14th of September, 3 pm
Makiko Harris’ work explores contemporary feminism, belonging, and desire. Informed by feminist theory and her own experiences as a biracial woman, Harris uses painting, installation, sculpture, and sound to create work that challenges viewers to think critically about their own definitions of identity and roles in power dynamics.
