Vuth Lyno is a Cambodian artist, curator, and educator in residence at the Worcester Art Museum as part of the Southeast Asian Artist-in-Residence program. During this drop-in open studio session, you are invited to meet Vuth and learn about the artwork he is creating during his time at the Museum.
Vuth’s art often engages with micro and overlooked histories, notions of community, place-making, and the production of social relations. He works across various media, including photography, video, sculpture, light, and sound. During his residency, Vuth will meet with various community members to research the notions of “home” held by Cambodian and Southeast Asian communities in our region.
• Museum admission is not required to attend the drop-in open studio sessions.
Talk:
The Worcester Photography Salon, A Conversation Spanning Five Decades of Community
Sunday, March 16, 2025
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Free for Members. $5 for general public.
Conference Room (Higgins Education Wing)
Speakers: Nancy Kathryn Burns, Stephen DiRado, Ron Rosenstock, and Brittany Severance
Since the second half of the 20th century, Worcester has fostered a vibrant photography community. A brief introduction to the Worcester Art Museum’s collection of works by local photographers will be followed by a panel discussion exploring how Ron Rosenstock’s “Sunday Night Class” and Stephen DiRado’s “Salon” became sites of creativity and collaboration that continue to impact the city’s art scene today. Nancy Kathryn Burns, the Worcester Art Museum’s Stoddard Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, will lead a conversation with three generations of Worcester photographers in the Museum’s collection: Ron Rosenstock, Stephen DiRado, and Brittany Severance.
Together, they will reflect on the genesis and impact of the proverbial “Night Class” and “Salon” on Worcester’s lens-based artist community. Afterward, we invite former and current attendees of the “Night Class” and “Salon” to offer their thoughts and stories about Worcester’s unique history with photography as well.
