During each thirty-minute session, participants are invited to comment and ask questions through a moderated chat.
The old genre of self-portraiture has grown exponentially in our selfie-driven age. This session will explore how, from the seemingly isolated space of the home or studio, artists including Alice Neel, Glenn Ligon, and Elizabeth Peyton, have used a range of mediums to reflect on, perform and expand our understanding of the self.
