Who Writes History

Ginger Wolfe Suarez

Suarez touched on historical amnesia, on missing alternative histories, and on the power of the individual who writes history. She spoke a great deal about those who inspired, enlightened, and worked with her. I was impressed with how she regarded herself as a piece of the whole rather than an isolated individual. Her context as well as her intellect and creativity defined her. Suarez has eradicated the boundaries between her written art and her visual art. That fluidity allows her a fuller way to address her subject matter. She encouraged the audience to do their own research ended the lecture with a tone of optimism. I left with much to think about.
