Dr. Michelle Gewurtz is the author of the new ACI publication Molly Lamb Bobak: Life & Work and Curator at the Ottawa Art Gallery. Dr. Laura Brandon is an award-winning writer, curator, and lecturer and former Historian, Art & War, at the Canadian War Museum. Together, in a discussion moderated by Sara Angel, ACI Founder and Executive Director, they will explore the impact and importance of Molly Lamb Bobak and Canada’s women war artists.
