Artist Talk: “Currents 40: Widline Cadet”
Join us for the next event in our Artist Talk series, featuring internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Widline Cadet whose exhibition, Currents 40: Widline Cadet, is her first solo exhibition in the United States and the first full presentation of Seremoni Disparisyon (Ritual [Dis]Appearance), an ongoing photographic series exploring Black diasporic identity, memory, and survival. Drawing from her Haitian-American experience, Cadet weaves personal and collective narratives into this powerful body of work that combines photography, sculpture, and moving images. Don’t miss this chance to hear from Cadet about her artistic journey and the significance of this milestone exhibition.
This drop-in experience is included with Museum admission and is free for Members. Admission tickets are available at the door or online. The Milwaukee Art Museum is grateful to its exhibition sponsors.
The Artist Talk series welcomes emerging, mid-career, and established artists to share what it means to live creatively. Discussing motivation, medium, and technique, artists will reveal how and why their work expresses their emotions and ideas.
