Join us for an online lunch-hour artist talk and presentation with Izzy Cenedese as part of this year's I spy... Speaker Series.
This online artist talk series is a part of a connecting bridge of projects created by UNIT/PITT Society for Art and Critical Awareness. Multi-disciplinary curator Nadia Mahamoor has invited three artists to discuss their practice, present their work, and share their common ground with the themes of I spy鈥, UNIT/PITT鈥檚 disposable camera mail art project. The first talk is with Izzy Cenedese on April 21.
