Event Description: "Creative Counterpoints: Artists Translate Difference" is the second event in the Creative Counterpoints series that began at MassArt in 2016 to explore narratives of creativity and difference. This year's event is an evening of artist talks by three MassArt alumni on the theme of translation across linguistic, cultural and mediatic forms, as it manifests itself in the lives and work of these artists. This program is intended as a space where recent alumni share with current students the ways in which experiences of foreignness and difference not only inform their creative practice but are also shaping their current career paths. Whether as a freelance film director, art educator, or ceramic artist, the alumni featured in Creative Counterpoints engage intentionally with their defining experience of difference in this country, and "translate" this experience in their professional and personal lives.
Event Sponsors: Creative Counterpoints is made possible thanks to the generous support of these MassArt Departments: Department of Academic Affairs; Office of Alumni Relations; Liberal Arts Department; Office of Student Development; Center for Art and Community Partnerships (CACP); Career Development Office; The Presidents's Office.
