Panel Discussion: A League of Nations

This panel discussion will bring together artists’ perspectives on the League’s Fall Curated exhibition A League of Nations. They will discuss their works in the show and share their insights on the League as nexus for immigrant artists. Participants include artist and League instructor Bruce Dorfman, South African multi-media artist Sue Williamson, and Professor of Art History and Gallery Director at New Jersey City University Dr. Midori Yoshimoto. Moderated by the League’s Gallery Director and Curator Dr. Ksenia Nouril, the panel will delve into the history of the League and its role in shaping the trajectories of the art practices of artists in the exhibition: Williamson will describe the lasting influence of the League printmaking classes that she took in the 1960s on her work; Dorfman will discuss being a student at the League with Marisol, studying under Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and his student Ai WeiWei; and Yoshimoto will speak about Takako Saito, who played an essential role in the Fluxus and the New York avant-garde art scene in the 1960s.
