Herzfeld Center for Photography and Media Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join notable Milwaukee voices from the fields of art, education, and language as they reflect on the works in Erin Shirreff: Permanent Drafts<\/em><\/a>. Through their varied lenses, we\u2019ll explore themes of transformation, perception, and the spaces between seeing and understanding. Rooted in mixed media, Shirreff\u2019s work invites us to slow down, to notice what shifts across materials and moments, and to reflect on what is preserved, altered, or lost in translation. Together, we\u2019ll consider how both art and language mediate our experience of the world and reveal the complexity beneath its surface.<\/p>\n

This drop-in experience is included with Museum admission and is free for Members. Admission tickets are available at the door or online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
