Continuous – with Jenny Irene Miller

Public Lecture: Tuesday Oct 17th, 7:00 pm

Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Auditorium
625 C St, Anchorage

Jenny Irene Miller, Inupiaq, presents her recent body of work, Continuous. Using the camera as a tool for social change—Jenny shares her process of exploring Indigenous identity, sexual orientation, gender diversity, discrimination, and pride—and how those elements overlap, diverge, and inform each other.  

Continuous features distinct Alaska Native lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2) people, who come from unique tribal backgrounds. This photographic series, supplemented by stories from its subjects, shares what it means to be Alaska Native and part of the LGBTQ2 community, and how those identities can empower. Continuous recognizes their existence and strength, both individually and as a community.

Jenny first conceptualized this project in 2012 and began making portraits in 2015. She was awarded an annual grant in 2016 from the Alaska Humanities Forum for Continuous. The body of work first exhibited in Anchorage in both January and April 2017.

This event is free and open to the public

Join us at 7pm on Tuesday March 21st, 2017 at the Anchorage Museum to welcome Oscar Avellaneda-Cruz as he walks us through his #cosplay project

CosPlay (costume play) is a performance art where participants adorn themselves with fashion wear that is often handmade, specific to a character. CosPlayers come together for public role-playing, costume competitions, and to reinterpret how they express their identity.

Community cartographer, Oscar Avellaneda-Cruz, has been exploring the Alaska CosPlay community for the last three years with various format cameras. He is fascinated with the Alaska CosPlay community’s fluidity of gender expression and the attention to detail in producing costumes.

APC is so excited to bring film artist Michael Walsh to our Photo Tuesday series, with his talk, Film is DEADly

Michael will be screening 3 short films and giving us some background on his process and practice.

Michael creates celluloid based experimental work – pulling from many mediums and techniques to promote appreciation and education for moving image craftsmanship.

“Making celluloid based experimental moving image work is not the smartest thing to do. You lose money. You have to wait for long periods of time to see your work projected. It’s bad for your back. The processing chemicals can damage your kidneys. So why do I still make celluloid based 16mm and 35mm film…because it’s FUN!

Strength and power in art today draw on the cross-fertilization of past and future and hybrid approaches to all art forms. Now, more than ever, I am is compelled to promote appreciation and education about moving image craftsmanship in innovative ways, from celluloid to digital, from the hand-processed and hand-made to the synthetic and evanescent.”
