Free and open to all

In conjunction with Mishkin Gallery’s current exhibition Visible Communication, Dr. Alison Griffiths will present a lecture on the rich visual culture of the medieval period and dreaming as a kind of visual thought experiment—one in which ideas associated with cinema, such as embodied viewing, narrative sequencing, projection, and sensory engagement, are palpable in a range of visual and literary works. Opening up these intellectual thought lines across distinct eras can help us extrapolate similarities around ways of imagining the objects, spaces, and sensations of embodied viewing or immersion, reminding us that our contemporary digital landscape (and cinema before that) are not divorced from earlier ways of seeing and believing.
