Join Terry R. Myers in conversation with Chicago-based Riva Lehrer, an artist, writer, and curator. Lehrer’s work focuses on issues of physical identity and the socially challenged body, examining and redefining cultural depictions of disability. Myers and Lehrer discuss the artist’s studio practice, forthcoming memoir Golem Girl, and her future projects. After the talk, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on the discussion.
