Join curator and History of Art PhD Candidate, Laurel V. McLaughlin, for an informal conversation about the resonances of Bryn Mawr's current exhibition, Bethany Collins: Tempest with an exhibition she recently organized at Artspace New Haven. That exhibition [Voicings] wonders about the conditions, capacities, and powers of voices to utter sounds, words, and signs. McLaughlin will also share new research for a project focused on what she calls "choral aesthetics," drawn from conversations with contemporary artists, art historical research, and her personal and professional experiences in vocal studies. 

[Voicings] is on view at Artspace New Haven through April 15, 2023. It features the work of Mira Dayal, Dominique Duroseau, JJJJJerome Ellis, Nikita Gale, Gordon Hall, Amiko Li, Matt Keegan, Christine Sun Kim, Joseph Keckler, and Sahra Motalebi.
