The Peggy Society is thrilled to launch Peggy Talks, a series of online conversations featuring prominent PGC alumni discussing their current projects as well as their career path since working at the PGC.

Dr. Flavia Frigeri (Hilla Rebay Fellow, 2011), Curator at the National Portrait Gallery London, will focus on Reframing Narratives: Women in Portraiture, a new three year project she is leading which aims to enhance the representation of women in the Gallery’s Collection and highlight the often overlooked stories of individual women who have shaped British history and culture.
Flavia will also talk about her career path since her fellowship at the PGC.

We hope you can join us for this virtual conversation and Q+A with Flavia on Thursday, June 24th at 12pm ET / 5pm GMT +1 / 6pm GMT +2

About the virtual Peggy Talks series
Over the last year, the pandemic drastically impacted us all and prevented us from meeting in person. As our world slowly reopens, we want to reconnect in new ways to enhance the experience for Peggy Guggenheim Collection alumni through the digital sphere and outside of the traditional constraints of place and time. To foster a deeper connection among members across different time zones, we have initiated a series of lunchtime (US)/ aperitivo (UK + Europe) talks where alumni can discuss their careers and current projects, reconnect, and form new moments of engagement with each other. We will continue to have in person events when possible, and hope this program will be a long term supplement to these events over the next few months!
