During this Artist Talk, Farida Sedoc (artist) and Mirelva Berghout (Curator of Photography at Stedelijk Museum), discuss Sedoc’s artistic practice, taking her recent work; Social Capital, currently on view at the museum, as a point of departure. Through images, short video and music fragments, the audience gets more insight into the themes and processes that shape her work. The conversation moves between recent projects and earlier works. Touching on how personal archives, photography and printmaking techniques serve as key points of reference. Alternating between image and sound, the talk will offer a layered dialogue in which multiple voices and sources of inspiration are discussed, presenting Sedoc’s practice as a continuous negotiation between the personal and the collective, the present and history.
