Lecture: Jova Lynne (Webinar)

Jova Lynne: Finding Balance

Join artist and curator Jova Lynne (Photography ’17) as she discusses finding balance between artistic and curatorial practice. Lynne will discuss her career trajectory and share insights into finding sanity in arts professional fields.

Jova Lynne is a transdisciplinary artist and curator based out of Detroit, MI. Lynne is interested in the parallels between fictional, historical and personal archives in identity development. Lynne seeks to subvert anthropological practice in utilizing lens, sculpture and performative practices. She is interested in the cognitive dissonance one experiences when navigating material, text and media-based archive specifically as it relates to Black culture. Lynne is a grantee of the Astraea Foundation’s Global Arts Fund, which has supported her work in media and social practice based projects in Kingston, Jamaica and Berlin, Germany in addition to her work in Detroit. Lynne completed a Masters of Fine Arts in Photography at Cranbrook Academy of Art in May 2017. Lynne is currently the Susanne Feld Hilberry Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
