Two Tigers Productions: Introductory Artist Talk

Known collectively as Two Tigers Productions, Leah Thompson and Jillian Schultz first met in Beijing in 2011 while collaborating on COAL + ICE, a landmark photography exhibition on the climate crisis that toured globally.  Their interdisciplinary practice is rooted in rigorous academic training and forged through collaborations spanning grassroots artist-led initiatives to major institutions. Their work–from multimedia exhibitions and documentary film to arts education and community engagement–cultivates and amplifies creative responses to urgent societal challenges.

During their residency at USF, Thompson and Schultz will advance post-production on You Should Never Blink, their feature documentary on the rebellious life and legacy of educator, humanitarian, and "pop art nun" (Sister) Corita Kent. The film received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the 2025 Better Angels Society Lavine Fellowship.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided.
