What is artistic research? What is it like to step into the Folger as a contemporary artist? Join us for a virtual conversation with Folger Institute fellows Alexander D’Agostino (‘22-23) and Mindy Stricke (‘18-19) on how they integrate collections research and creative process. Learn about their strategies, surprising discoveries, and how you too can become a Folger researcher.
This conversation will be moderated by Abbie Weinberg, Research and Reference Librarian, with welcoming remarks from Patricia Akhimie, incoming Director of the Folger Institute.
