Traveling Talks: Justyna Badach and the Land of Epic Battles

As Olana readies for a new exhibition of costumes from Church’s Middle Eastern clothing collection we start the process of discovery with Justyna Badach. Badach is a contemporary artist; her work reflects on Middle Eastern and USA landscapes. Her illustrated talk presents both her American Landscape works (pulled from early color Western films) and a new series of large, hand-made dichromate photographic prints, made using film stills from ISIS training videos that use gunpowder as a pigment. Badach is a Philadelphia-based artist, educator, and museum professional whose work is in numerous museums and collections. Location: Wagon House Education Center.
