Nancy "Nano" Borowick

Notes from Nancy Borowick:  Former photography student, and maker of the project "Cancer Family" and book "The Family Imprint: A Daughter's Portrait of Love and Loss", wrote to us about some upcoming events she is involved in around the world.

  • In November, I’m headed to Chicago to give the keynote speech at the Twist Out Cancer annual "Brushes With Cancer" event, where cancer patients are paired with artists who create work inspired by their new friends. Such a beautiful program and I hear the event is a great and inspiring time. Tickets are still available here.
  • To Canada I go for the Real Life Photo Conference where I will be a presenter as well as a participant. It will be three empowering days of photography and community in beautiful Canmore, Alberta.
  • If you are in Barcelona, Spain, I will be coming to town to exhibit and talk about my work at the Palau Robert thanks to the team at Photographic Social Vision and their DOCfield Festival. Dates are November 19-23rd.

Recent Union graduates and film studies minors Luke Dyer ‘18AJ Hubbard ’18 and Kevin Jordan ’18 won first place in the 15 Min. Max Film Student Film Festival hosted by the College of St. Rose. The trio's short film, “Libertine,” was selected from 80 entries to compete in the festival and won first place in a field of 16 finalists. 

The short film was produced as part of last year’s Environmental Action Media Lab run by Film Studies and presents a dystopic waterless future in which people themselves are mined for water.
