Please join us as Ricky Weaver, ArtCenter AICAD Fellows Artist is Residence, discusses the relationship between Image Ontology and Dark Sousveillance as it relates to the photographic medium and the ritual of making.

Image Ontology and Dark Sousveillance: Ricky Weaver on the Ritual of Making is an in person and virtual event. ArtCenter Faculty, Students, and Staff are encourage to attend in person at the LA Times Media Center. This event will simultaneously be available on Zoom to the greater ArtCenter community.

Ricky Weaver is an Image-based artist from Ypsilanti, Michigan. She received her BFA from Eastern Michigan University and her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Ricky is currently an instructor at ActCenter College of Design, The Society of Photographic Education, and more. Ricky is represented by David Klein Gallery (Detroit, MI) and has shown work at the 13th Havana Biennale, Expo Chicago, Photographic Center Northwest, Black Studies Gallery at UT Austin and more. 

Weaver’s practice prioritizes the ways in which image materializes within a spatiotemporal collapse. Her application of scripture, hymn, and colloquial passages observe the nuances of the everyday as portals to worlds that don’t require escape. She addresses the sonic, linguistic, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central mechanism for storing, downloading and transferring archives.

ArtCenter Faculty, Students, and Staff are encouraged to join the event in person, following all on-campus access procedures which can be found here. This event will be live streamed and available to all on Zoom.

This event is sponsored by Photography and Imaging.
