How are contemporary artists using portraiture and portrait-making processes to examine, reflect, and/or challenge constructions of identity?

Kip Fulbeck and Los Angeles-based artists Shizu Saldamando and Jessica Shokrian gather to discuss the role of ethnicity, race, class, age, gender, and sexuality in shaping their work. The conversation promises to be a lively commentary on ways of seeing the self and others. Moderated by Steven Nelson, Assistant Professor of art history at UCLA.
