ROCKPORT — Maggie Meiners, an artist and filmmaker, plans to discuss her work that addresses notions of domesticity, beauty, and body image in a lecture, “he A Game: The Authentic Self in Image Making, at 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 2.
Using humor and working with various mediums, Meiners engages in self-analysis and critique to arrive at a truthful and authentic version of herself, according to a news release from Maine Media Workshops + College.
This lecture is part of the Alumni Lecture Series, a weekly online series offered by Maine Media Workshops + College featuring conversations on topics in photography, filmmaking, book arts and design, and writing.
Meiners’ modes of appropriation and deconstruction are seen through the lens of humor and feminism. Artifacts and images from popular culture and consumerism portray the dichotomies of the gendered psyche and symbolizations of the feminine.
Cig Harvey, a British-born fine art photographer known for using both images and language to explore sensory experiences and elevate the everyday, will host the lecture.
The series is free and open to the public through the sponsorship of Camden National Bank, WERU Community Radio FM89.9, Eaton Peabody Attorneys at Law, Allen Insurance and Financial, Two Ponds Press, Page Gallery, B&H Photo and Video, and Cedar Crest Inn, as well as through donations from individuals.
