About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Persisting Matters is a series of talks that places contemporary artists in conversation with scholars, curators, critics, and the public. The series is developed in the context of CIMA's 2023-2024 exhibition Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948, (October 12, 2023 - January 27, 2024) and is supported by a grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Questions of gender, racism, political oppression and resilience through art and community practices were central to Cagli's work in the years of his exile from Italy, due to the country's racial laws. Persisting Matters engages contemporary artists whose practices explore these pressing subjects in their individual context and prism.

Hilary Harkness (b. 1971) meticulously fuses Old Master tactics with a distinctly contemporary sensibility to explore power dynamics, war, and gender through an intersectional lens. Her work explores interpersonal dynamics through a lens that allows power struggles inherent in sex, race, and class systems to play out on an uncensored stage.
