The Griffin Museum is pleased to announce a speaker series in partnership with Photographic Resource Center (PRC). Join us for a talk with artist Toni Pepe on March 5th at 6pm, online or in-person at Lesley University Hall. Following the talk, we invite you to continue the conversation at the PRC gallery from 7-8 PM for a casual social hour with the artist.
Toni Pepe creates prints and three-dimensional assemblages from discarded newspaper images, family snapshots, and obsolete photographic equipment, investigating how photography shapes our understanding of time, space, and self. Her practice explores the layers of information a print conveys beyond its image--whether through the presence of text, subtle stains, or crop marks--each detail offering insight into the photograph's journey and its significance as a physical object.
