Book Club: "Ways of Seeing" by John Berger
Join us for an engaging discussion of John Berger's groundbreaking 1972 work that revolutionized how we understand visual culture and art history.
Based on the BBC television series, "Ways of Seeing" challenges traditional Western perspectives on art, examining how context, reproduction, and cultural assumptions shape our perception of images. Berger's accessible yet profound analysis explores topics including the male gaze, the language of advertising, oil painting traditions, and the relationship between art and property.
This thought-provoking text remains essential reading for anyone interested in visual culture, contemporary art, feminism, and critical theory.
What to Expect: Through guided conversation, we'll explore Berger's key ideas and their relevance to contemporary visual culture, bringing in examples from today's art world and media landscape.
