Join PHOCUS, Vassar’s only student photography organization, for a guest artist lecture by multidisciplinary artist Patrice Aphrodite Helmar.

Helmar is currently a Lecturer on Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University, an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Pratt Institute, and a part-time lecturer at the New School. They are the founder of Marble Hill Camera Club, a New York City-based photography community space.

Helmar will speak about their work involving photography, community, and issues of labor, class, queerness, and representation. Following a presentation of their work, there will be a Q&A with the artist.

This lecture, endowed by Andrea Baldeck ’72, is open to the public and does not require a reservation.
