Selfies are powerful communicators, embodying a mediated understanding of the self and curating identity through social media. Editing and repurposing the selfie in art-making creates more symbolic representation, as seen in the work of Art Hoe Collective and other online artists. This First Friday lecture will analyze selfie culture through theoretical concepts of skin to explore themes of agency, ethics and the Other, complicating what it means to post, relate and engage via the selfie.
Free! All are welcome!
