Hannah Doucet: Active Research Lecture

PLATFORM is pleased to present Hannah Doucet, the latest speaker in our ongoing Active Research Lectures Series. Doucet was the winner of our 2017 PLATFORM Photography Award, which resulted in her incredible gallery 2 exhibition I wondered when my body would deflate. For her active research lecture, Doucet will discuss illness, futile acts of resistance to sickness, persisting bodily and representational anxieties, and materiality and failure within photographic representation. 

PLATFORM's Active Research Lecture Series is free and open to the public. The lecture itself will take place in Cinematheque theatre, which is just across the lobby from us.
