Collage Workshop
with Todd Bartel & Niki Haynes
Saturday, March 25, 11:00am - 1:00pm
MAC Arts Lab, 49 Main Street
Create poetic, romantic, melancholic imagery through juxtaposition.
You’ll collect, cut-up, organize, and copy imagery/engravings to create a photo copier
collage. As part of this workshop you’ll take into consideration and explore the use
of paper, enlarging or shrinking imagery, interrupting, and manipulating to create
one-of-a-kind collage pieces.
Todd Bartel and Niki Haynes will also be available to talk about their own practices
and select pieces in the exhibition Layer/Build: Collage Explored on view at Gallery 51.
The Mind's Eye Lecture with Dr. Mariah Hepworth
D.W. GRIFFITH, WORLD WAR I, AND THE ANTIWAR WAR FILM
Thursday, March 30 2023 at 5:30pm
MAC Arts Lab, 49 Main Street
World War I defined modern American culture, giving rise simultaneously to modern
U.S. foreign policy and Hollywood. In this talk, Dr. Hepworth argues that D.W. Griffith
was at the forefront of this transformation, teaching Americans to engage war primarily
through cinema, and conditioning them to accept U.S. war-making as fundamentally altruistic.
Mariah Hepworth is Assistant Professor of History at MCLA. Dr. Hepworth received her B.A. in history
from Seattle University and M.A. and Ph.D. in American history from Northwestern University.
Her research and teaching interests center on the ways in which popular culture shapes
mainstream understandings of American politics. At MCLA, she teaches courses in American
military, cultural and social history.
