You are invited to the 2024 Ettinger Book Artist Series Lecture featuring Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. in the 4th Floor Conference Center of the Golda Meir Library, 2311 E. Hartford Ave.

Collaborative photographers and books artists Barbara Ciurej & Lindsay Lochman have worked together on photographic projects and photo-based artists books for over 40 years. Ciurej is a Chicago-based photographer and graphic designer. Lochman is a Milwaukee-based photographer and former art lecturer at UWM. Together they create narrative works that engage the edge between the heroic and the commonplace through a confluence of history, myth, and popular culture. For them, collaboration opens the possibility of moving beyond personal stories and into the realm of collective experience, mirroring the fluid and mutable ways of storytelling traditions.

Barbara Ciurej and Lindsay Lochman will present and discuss their work, their collaborative process, and the choice of the book form as one of their primary mediums.

The lecture, free and open to the public, is supported by the Ettinger Family Foundation.
