A virtual screening and discussion with artist and filmmaker Caitlin Ryan on her current and past projects, moderated by media artist and curator Emily Eddy.
On Thursday, February 17th, at 2 pm Central Time, Media Burn Archive will host artist and filmmaker Caitlin Ryan for a virtual screening and discussion of her newest work in progress, The Irish Project, alongside excerpts of other films and video projects. The event will be moderated by film, video, and digital media artist and curator Emily Eddy.
Caitlin Ryan is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker; her work explores the nuances between comedy and humor, specifically using the vernacular of the uncanny to investigate systems of anthropology. She’s interested in small underground (and sometimes temporary) communities to observe perspectives that push the boundaries of what it means to have radical empathy.
Ryan received her MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago and has most recently shown her work at Iceberg Projects, Flatland, Gallery 400, and Hyde Park Art Center. Her films have also appeared at the Onion City Film Festival, Chicago Underground Film Festival, and the Nightingale Cinema.
