lease join us for a Zoom conversation with artist, Susan B. Trachman and Artist-in-Residence, Ted Meyer, and Dr. Andrew Woo, Clinical Professor of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Susan Trachman was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1988 and began stockpiling materials from her various treatments almost immediately. Seven years later she conceptualized her first piece, Order.
In Susan’s words, “Having MS, like life itself is unpredictable… we all have something, and dwelling on the things that you have lost or can’t control does not change what is or what will be, but making something of what you have is all that you can do.”
Join Artist Kathy Nida in a Zoom Conversation with Artist-in-Residence Ted Meyer and Dr. Sigita Cahoon MD, MPH, and Assistant Professor of Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Nida’s work often explores issues of a woman’s existence. It is very much a narrative of the past, present, and future of her personal life, even as it refers to the greater human population. For these works, she has considered the concept of reproduction. Although not all women want children, many of their bodies are set up to make babies. Without judgement, it’s a place to start a conversation. Even those who identify as women but lack the appropriate parts can start with this, this part of our bodies that works the way we want it to, works some of the time, or fails us completely. ​
rtist-in-Residence Ted Meyer interviews artist Wang-San Sit, and Dr. Pamela Mikkelsen, Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and Assistant Professor of Clinical Physical Therapy “Routine as Repertoire” explores routines that women and non-binary individuals incorporate into their lives as bodies go through transformation or challenges. She explores patients’ diverse routines; from taking medication, to cleaning a wheelchair, meditation, exercise, rest, community building, and so on. Through the sharing of routines, perhaps experiences such as illness, disability, aging, motherhood, and gender transitioning can be viewed beyond the tragic or heroic polarities, and the experiences may exist and be represented in all their complexities.
rtist-in-Residence Ted Meyer interviews artist Laura Ferguson, and Mark. J. Spoonamore, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Orthopedic Surgery.
