Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz-Starus, Three Weeks in May, 1977
On Monday, November 10 at 12 p.m., adjunct professor Angelique Syzmanek will present a lecture entitled “The Fear of Rape. The Threat of Looking: Imaging Sexual Violence in Feminist Art,” in the Student Center/Regis North. Syzmanek’s lecture will look into the work of two artists, Ana Mendieta and Suzanne Lacy, who, through radically different means, attempted to navigate the volatile terrain of visual representation. Through the work of activists and artists, a space was being opened for the exposure of an event that had long remained unspeakable and unseen: rape. Angelique Szymanek is a PhD candidate at Binghamton University and is writing her dissertation on the concurrent rise of feminist performance art and the anti-rape movement in the U.S. In 2013, she was a recipient of the Helena Rubenstein Fellowship at the Whitney Museum of American Art and currently teaches courses at Canisius College, University at Buffalo and R.I.T.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information please call the Fine Arts Office at Ext. 2542 or visit canisius.edu/artscanisius.
