“Meet the Artist” with Pete Pin

On Thursday, December 18, we welcome Pete Pin to “Meet the Artist” night at CPW. Pin will discuss his long-term project, Migrations of Memory, and new work, That Was Then, This Is Now, with an emphasis on the role of photography in excavating and processing familial and communal trauma. Informed by nascent research on epigenetics, complex trauma, and rooted in his personal history – born in a refugee camp in the aftermath of genocide, estranged from a father who raised him alone while struggling with his mental health, and reunited with him nearly twenty years later shortly before his death as Pete began his own journey into fatherhood – the work reflects on how trauma reverberates across generations. It seeks to honor the past while affirming the possibilities of healing, repair, and transformation. This event will be live-streamed on CPW’s YouTube page at 6pm. Doors open at  5:30pm.

Join us every Thursday evening at CPW, when we host illuminating talks with local and visiting artists. “Meet the Artist” allows the public to get to know new work, to hear about artistic processes, and to meet friends and other local artists. The evening takes place at CPW’s gallery at 25 Dederick Street in Kingston, NY. It is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea, and snacks are served
