María Korol & Sarah Higgins in Conversation

Join us on the @artpapers Instagram for a live conversation between Spring 2021, “Mimicry, Camouflage, Transformation” contributor María Korol and ART PAPERS editor + artistic director Sarah Higgins.

They’ll be talking about María’s artist project for the Spring issue, her practice more broadly, and how writing is entering that practice and influencing her work.

This conversation is part of a series of virtual talks to expand the discourse around our themes and promote dialogue between writers with overlapping interests/knowledge.

For those who cannot join us live, this conversation will be available to view afterwards on Instagram TV.
