| description | Many of the artists in Agitated Histories examine the contents of historic archives and re-present the material in new and unexpected ways to re-contextualize the subject matter. This reimagining of the facts of history serves to increase our understanding of the historical event and also forces us to question the reality or truths of the historical event. In this lecture, Lefrak will examine the works in SITE's exhibition by Sam Durant, Lorraine O'Grady, Zoe Leonard and Cheryl Dunye, which all reference photography archives. |
