Anne Walsh (Dept. of Art Practice, UC Berkeley) engaged in an ongoing artistic response to surrealist painter Leonora Carrington’s 1974 feminist novella, The Hearing Trumpet, and spent time with Carrington before her death at age 94. In Hello Leonora, Soy Anne Walsh (No Place Press, 2019), Walsh casts herself as an “apprentice crone” who stalks old people and takes selfies with them, becomes a mother, passes through menopause, and attends “elder theater” classes.

Walsh is joined by Julia Bryan-Wilson (History of Art Dept.), whose work is included in the book.
