We're delighted to host this program with Susan Seidelman in honor of Women’s History Month! https://www.instagram.com/desperately_seeking/

Susan Seidelman is an alumna of the Graduate Film program at New York University and began her career in the 1980s, when her movie “Smithereens” became the first American independent film to be accepted into the Cannes Film Festival. Her next movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan,” starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, was a critical and commercial success.

Seidelman has directed dozens of other films, starring actors like Meryl Streep, Brooke Shields, and Sally Field, as well as the first four episodes of the iconic HBO series “Sex and the City.” In 2024, she wrote the book “Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls.”

Susan Seidelman will be interviewed by multimedia artist, graphic designer, and documentary filmmaker Heidi Gelover. https://www.heidigelover.com/

Join us for this conversation with biographer Brad Gooch and The New School's Heidi Gelover in honor of #LGBTQ+ #PrideMonth! Keith Haring was one of the most emblematic artists of the 1980s, a figure described by his contemporaries as “a prophet in his life, his person, and his work.” Haring broke down barriers between high art and popular culture, creating work that was accessible for all and using it as a means to provoke and inspire radical social change. Brad Gooch, who was granted access to Haring’s extensive archive, has written a biography that will become the authoritative work on the artist. Based on interviews with those who knew him best, Gooch’s book captures the magic of Keith Haring, a visionary icon whose tragically short life has a unique aura of mystery and power. Thank you to the Keith Haring Foundation for providing the images used during tonight's program. Borrow “Radiant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring” from the Library. https://www.queenslibrary.org/book/Ra...
