March 1: Artist Wendy MacNaughton on Dorothea Lange: Seeing People

Artist Wendy MacNaughton on Dorothea Lange: Seeing People

Focus: Exhibitions

Friday, March 1, 2024
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
West Building Lecture Hall
https://www.nga.gov/calendar/lectures/exhibitions/artist-wendy-macnaughton-dorothea-lange-seeing-people.html/2024/03/01/1200

Join us for a talk with San Francisco-based artist Wendy MacNaughton about her artistic practice and her appreciation for the work of Dorothea Lange. The conversation is presented in conjunction with Dorothea Lange: Seeing People, an exhibition reframing Lange's work through the lens of portraiture and highlighting her unique ability to discover and reveal the character and resilience of those she photographed. Like Lange, MacNaughton's work is grounded in storytelling and practices of deep looking and listening, creating images of often-overlooked people, places, and things.

Wendy MacNaughton's work is based in the practices of drawing, social work, and storytelling. As a visual columnist for The New York Times and California Sunday Magazine, MacNaughton drew stories everywhere from high school cafeterias to Guantanamo Bay. She has authored and drawn two books, How To Say Goodbye and Meanwhile in San Francisco, and illustrated many others, including the #1 New York Times Bestseller Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat and New York Times Bestseller T he Gutsy Girl by Caroline Paul. She is the creator and host of DrawTogether, a participatory drawing show for kids, and the Grown-Ups Table, providing lessons and community for drawing-minded adults.

CREATOR SIGNING W/ SHAWN MARTINBROUGH
>> TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13th @ 6pm

Fantom Comics will be hosting a signing for local creator SHAWN MARTINBROUGH to celebrate the release of the first issue of RED HOOD THE HILL!

Welcome to the Hill--formerly one of Gotham's most dangerous suburbs--a place that required its residents to band together to keep themselves safe when the police, and sometimes even Batman, wouldn't. Now, as the Hill finds itself gentrifying, old habits die hard as the vigilante known only as Strike works with her team to keep the town safe--but she's not alone. Jason Todd, one of the Hill's newest residents, is more than happy to don the visage of Red Hood to help Strike keep his new home safe. But a new villain is emerging from the shadows. Will Red Hood, Strike and the Hill's small militia of vigilantes be able to keep their home safe? Check out Red Hood's return to find out!
