Artist Zwelethu Mthethwa will speak at Williams College
03:19PM / Thursday, April 09, 2009
The Williams College Museum of Art presents an artist's talk featuring South African photographer Zwelethu Mthethwa (b. 1960). Mthethwa will speak on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:00 pm at the Brooks-Rogers Recital Hall on the Williams College campus.
Selections from Mthethwa's soon to be published project, Interior Series, are currently on view at the Williams College Museum of Art through April 19 in Beyond the Familiar: Photography and the Construction of Community. These works depict various segments of the South African population and always feature the individual placed squarely in the center of the image.
"Art in our day," Mthethwa writes, "is not really done for art's sake: it questions issues related to global processes, such as urban industrialization, contemporary cultures, identity crises, gender, race, and social imbalances." Mthethwa's photographs provide a systematic critique. They feature individuals who have long endured the daily struggle brought by these global processes, but whose sense of dignity remains firmly in place.
This event is free and open to the public. All are welcome to attend.
The Williams College Museum of Art is located on Main Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am-5 pm and Sunday from 1-5 pm. The museum is wheelchair accessible and open to the public. Admission is FREE. For more information, contact the museum at 413-597-2429.
