Teresa Posyniak: Exploring Resiliency
Thursday, March 18
Calgary-based artist Teresa Posyniak explores themes of resiliency and resistance in her
work. Her subjects are often women who
have inspired her with their dedication and
passion, have overcome obstacles, and exude
simple beauty and quiet contemplation. Posyniak will discuss her work "I Speak My Daughter Tongue." She will also discuss her
work to create awareness for the prevention
of violence against women and her ongoing
volunteer commitment at the Alberta
Children's Hospital where she creates portraits
of chronically ill and palliative children for their
families.

Searching the Figure: An Evening Talk
with Linda Carreiro
Thursday, April 8
Why have artists throughout history insistently
explored the human body in their work?
What does the figure, conceptually and
structurally, continuously offer up as a subject
of investigation? Join Linda Carreiro, to address some underlying questions posed by
depictions of the body in art. Carreiro has presented her artwork internationally and presents widely on her research of the historical anatomical body, particularly images and objects related to dissection. She is an Associate Professor in the University of Calgary's Art Deparment.
