Things That Go Bump

A monthly series of provocative and useful dialogues with artists, writers, filmmakers and scholars who broaden our understanding of the ill-considered and the unknown, hosted by PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz

Photographer Shannon Taggart has traveled the world documenting the practices and rituals of talking to the dead. She has probably photographed more mediums, séances, and Spiritualist ceremonies, on different continents, than any other living artist. Shannon and Mitch will discuss why our current categories of evaluating the reality or fakery of mediumistic activity are inadequate to the phenomena, and how we can embark on a new, fresh, and meaningful way of understanding claims of the paranormal, from the production to ectoplasm to the appearance of ghostly orbs.











When: Wed., May. 18, 2016 at 7:00 pm
Where: Morbid Anatomy Museum
424 Third Ave. Brooklyn
