Clark’s MFA in Visual Arts program presents an Art Talk with visiting faculty member Patrice Aphrodite Helmar.

Helmar’s work has been shown at PARTICIPANT INC; the Jewish Museum; Ortega Y Gasset Projects; Gaa Gallery; the National Museum of Iceland; and other spaces. Helmar’s multidisciplinary work concerns issues of labor, class, queerness, and the politics of representation.
