Cecelia Condit is a media artist whose work pays particular attention to women’s voices and desires -- especially those at the margins of accepted speech and action. Her career is a long and highly distinguished one with videos from the early 1980s to today. She is the recipient of numerous awards for her work including NEA and Guggenheim fellowships.
Professor Condit was kind enough to talk about her work while in the final stages of completing her latest piece, ANNIE LLOYD -- a moving portrait of her mother as both parent and artist.
