Brooklyn Talks: Tyler Mitchell and Qiana Mestrich

Thursday, June 12, 7–9 pm

Take a closer look at the special exhibition Consuelo Kanaga: Catch the Spirit through conversations with contemporary photographers Tyler Mitchell and Qiana Mestrich, who take inspiration from Kanaga’s work.

The evening begins with a conversation between Mitchell and Drew Sawyer, exhibition cocurator and Sondra Gilman Curator of Photography at the Whitney Museum. Their dialogue is followed by a conversation between Mestrich and Pauline Vermare, cocurator and Phillip and Edith Leonian Curator of Photography at the Brooklyn Museum. These focused discussions, in which the artists delve into their own practices and reflect on Kanaga’s, are followed by a Q&A and exclusive after-hours access to the exhibition.

Support for Brooklyn Talks provided by the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation Endowment.
