@ Join us at the Joslyn Castle Carriage House for a screening of Place Is Inside, Too, a new video work by Teresa Carmody emerging from their novel The Reconception of Marie. “She began thinking of adolescence as a place one inhabits. First in the body, then in books and films, in art.” Place Is Inside, Too begins with this sentence from Reconception. Drawing on the novel’s exploration of a girl coming of age within white Evangelical and Catholic communities in western Michigan, the video extends its questions into a visual and embodied form—considering place not only as a physical environment, but as something lived within the body, shaped by memory, culture, geography, and time. Following the screening, a panel of respondents will offer live reflections on the work. Together, we’ll explore: How do we carry place within us? Where do inner and outer landscapes meet or diverge? How do different disciplines shape the way we experience and interpret art? This event offers a space for thoughtful dialogue across art forms and ways of knowing: analytical, intuitive, and somatic.
