What are the inherent challenges in telling a history that is still being unearthed, and what can media and material objects add to that story? Amid the backdrop of the exhibition for Swann Galleries’ first Pride Sale, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Hyperallergic Hrag Vartanian will moderate this panel with communications industry veteran Cathy Renna and Eduardo Ayala Fuentes of the Leslie-Lohman Museum.
The panel will take place on Monday, June 17 , 6 to 8 pm at Swann Auction Galleries (104 East 25th Street, New York, NY).
Space is limited – RSVP is required.
The Pride Sale offers books, manuscripts, photographs, archives, art, and objects chronicling the lives of luminaries and the history of movements, parades, and protests.
