The Real Cindy Sherman is third in a series of three Contemporary Art Night Classes on Cindy Sherman.

Enjoy a crash course on Cindy Sherman with a lecture from Australian curator and broadcaster Julie Ewington.

Over four decades, Cindy Sherman has looked back at us from her photographs. Yet she says, ‘When I look at the pictures, I never see myself.’ A persistent conundrum, Sherman has been described as feminist, portraitist, masquerader, caricaturist. Sydney-based writer, curator and broadcaster Julie Ewington asks: Is there a real Cindy Sherman?
