The Visual + Digital Arts Lecture Series presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators and academics.
Join Emma Hart, guest faculty for the Clay Revival program, for this talk.
Emma Hart lives and works in London. Her multifaceted practice spans across ceramics, sculpture, video, performance, photography and sound. Actively channeling her autobiography, anxieties, and embarrassments into her work, her work is concerned with the way real experiences and emotions are misrepresented and muted.
