Post Image presents artist Michèle Pearson Clarke, in the next installment of Moving the Landscape to Find Ground, a cycle of artist talks and artist residencies which takes place until May 2023. This series is built from a shared ambition to break open lens-based practices via the interrogation of the colonial prism through which photography exists. We are inviting conversation among all communities impacted by the colonial gaze. 

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
