Slow Looking: Staying with the Image with Liz Titone
Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, October 28th, at 7 pm EDT
Slow Looking invites us to linger with an image, allowing our attention to wander and return, to settle on a detail or follow a connection we hadn’t noticed before. There is no need to arrive at a particular understanding. Staying with the work gives us time to notice what draws us in, what unsettles us, and what remains just beyond our grasp.
For this Kinship Gathering, we’ll spend time with a few images from the Summer Share, exploring what becomes visible when we look without rushing toward interpretation. As observations accumulate, new relationships begin to take shape. We may find ourselves looking differently, prompted by a detail, a question, or a way of seeing that someone else brings to the conversation.
What we notice together doesn’t end with the gathering. The words, questions, and unexpected connections that surface can accompany us back to our own practice, changing how we return to an image and what we attend to when we make the next one.
Together we will ponder: How does sustained attention change our experience of looking?
Liz Titone built a career around looking. An artist and museum educator for twenty years, Titone designs programs that invite people to look closely, stay curious, and let what they notice find its way into the images they make. Her photographic practice gives the materials room to lead, welcoming chance and surprise over control, and trusts that attention, given time, reveals what an image holds.
Titone holds a B.F.A. in Photography from SUNY Purchase and an M.S.Ed. in Museum Education from Bank Street College. She lives in Kingston, NY.
