Where Art Originates: Artists and the Creative Process.

Lecture Series to Feature Artist Performances and Insights to Their Work

The public is invited to explore the creative process and personal approach to artistic growth in a series of five exciting lecture evenings featuring nine 2008 Djerassi Program resident artists. Participating artists represent a wide range of artistic expression and will perform and speak about their work. Each program will conclude with a Q & A session with the featured artist(s).

Contemporary Miniature Painting by Sabeen Raja
Sabeen Raja (Lahore, Pakistan) will show slides of her miniature paintings and discuss her work. Raja received her BFA from the National College of Arts in Pakistan and her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. She says of her work’s sensual imagery and contemporary themes that she “makes demons of our own personalities who blind us to the possibilities of change…miniature painting is a parallel or analogy to the perceived non-freedom of woman in Pakistani society.”

NOTE: Adult subject matter will be presented.
