You Should Have Seen It: A Discussion with Christina Schlesinger and Mike Henderson
Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ME
Sunday, May 12, 2024 | 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

This past winter, the Skowhegan Alliance published You Should Have Seen It, a zine of lost and destroyed artwork. Of its many incredible examples of loss and heartbreak, one story stood out as a critical moment in two artists’ practices. Join Christina Schlesinger and Mike Henderson in dialogue about their respective relationships with activism and archives, using the destroyed fresco mural they made on campus in 1968 as a launching point. 

Moderated by James Lowry (archivist, curator, and professor at Queens College, CUNY), this discussion will focus on the nature of activist art and the politics of documentation.
