Egyptian artist to lead conversation in Gladfelter
Written by Jessica Smith, Posted in Around Campus, Living
Egyptian artist Ganzeer and American artist and activist Josh MacPhee will lead a public conversation, “Art in/of the Street,” tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Based in Brooklyn, Ganzeer has worked with both graphic design and contemporary art since 2007.
He was ranked among “25 Street Artists from Around the World who are Shaking Up Public Art” in the Huffington Post, and Art in America Magazine has referred to his work as “new realism.” MacPhee is the founder of Inherent Archives and a member of the Justseeds Collective. Both Ganzeer and MacPhee will discuss their work and the role of art in social activism in the CHAT Lounge on the 10th floor of Gladfelter Hall. The event is free and open to all.
