Salamé will be in conversation with Jennie Hirsh, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art, about her work. This conversation will tackle printmaking as a platform for creative protest, looking at Salamé’s process and documentation of the 2016 Women’s March, as well as other topics outside of the United States.
