Artist Talk with Jarod Lew: Strange You Never Knew
Sat, Feb 1, 2025, 4:00–5:15pm
Helmut Stern Auditorium
Hear from artist Jarod Lew on his first solo exhibition, Strange You Never Knew. Born in Metro Detroit, Michigan, Lew draws on photography to explore intergenerational encounters with diasporic loss, displacement, and post-memory. Through this exploration, his work contends with the performativity of race and its instability as a locus of meaning. Lew deftly employs numerous aesthetic strategies—such as lighting, portraiture, and constructed tableaus—to confront the complexities and incoherencies of race and racial belonging. Each image explores the tension between history and fantasy as a constructed moment of remembrance.
