Join us for A Talk by Colette Copeland on ‘The Representation of Alter-Egos as an Expression of Multiplicity Identity

Inspired by Dada, Theater of the Absurd, Situationist Theory and contemporary performance art, Copeland will present some of her performance video works/short films that humorously question cultural norms. She creates alter egos, many of them bearded characters that deconstruct traditional gender roles.

Colette Copeland is an interdisciplinary visual artist and cultural critic/writer whose work examines issues surrounding gender, death, and the complicated landscape of human relationships. Sourcing personal narratives and popular media, she utilizes video, sound, photography, performance, and sculptural installation to question societal roles and the pervasive influence of media, and technology on our communal enculturation. She employs experimental narrative techniques to uncover hidden histories that allow for critical discourse. Her work provides a conduit for cultural memory, questioning how we engage in acts of remembrance.
