Friday, September 20th, 12 – 2 PM
McMaster Concert Hall, inside L.R. Wilson Hall

McMaster Museum of Art presents a film screening and panel talk on Friday, September 20th from 12 – 2 PM, featuring two contemporary video responses to the work of renowned Canadian artist trio The Clichettes (Louise Garfield, Janice Hladki, and Johanna Householder). Bridging theatre, lip-sync, dance, drag, costume, and comedy, The Clichettes developed a groundbreaking practice at the crossroads of performance art and feminist satire. This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Clichettes: Lips, Wigs, and Politics, on view now until November 22, 2024 at McMaster Museum of Art.

Following the screenings, exhibition curator Ivana Dizdar will moderate a discussion with a member of The Clichette’s, Johanna Householder, and the presenting video artists Syreeta Hector and Maya Ben David. A Q&A will invite questions from the audience.

For those unable to attend in person, note that this event will be live streamed on the McMaster Museum of Art YouTube Channel: YouTube.com/@McMasterMuseum
