GRADUATE

Throughout the Fall semester, the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies welcomes a series of dynamic and thought-provoking artists, designers, and scholars to present on their work and practice. All lectures will be streamed in PNCA’s Mediatheque and on PNCA’s YouTube channel.

Eileen Isagon Skyers, an alumna of the MA in Critical Studies Program at PNCA, will share a talk covering her multifaceted practice and career in the arts. She will discuss our contemporary framework for viewing, making, and valuing art against a backdrop of rapidly shifting technology, and how that manifests in her own work and criticism about digital art and culture.
