Summary:Join an Art Forum with Brigita Ozolins titled 'Our books will bear witness'
Our books will bear witness
Brigita Ozolins makes art based on the idea that language is a powerful cultural tool that both shapes and restricts who and what we are and how we think. In this presentation she will give an overview of her practice, with a focus on projects that feature books, words and writing performances.
