Artist Talk: Tirtzah Bassel with Aliza Edelman

Join artist Tirtzah Bassel in conversation with independent curator, art historian, and editor Aliza Edelman to talk about I Put a Spell, her solo exhibition at A.I.R. Gallery. Bassel will discuss the evolution of this work, which began with witches but quickly expanded into questions of who is called witch, priest, prophet, or heretic—and why. Together, they will explore how ritual, magic, and ancestral wisdom live in the body, and how painting becomes a site of inquiry, vulnerability, and transformation.
