Interview

In this exclusive interview, ROSEGALLERY sat down with artist Diana Markosian to discuss her landmark project Santa Barbara.

Can you talk about a few works in your collection that have had a big impact on you? What drew you towards them and how do they continue to inspire you?

In 1961 you met John Lewis while you were photographing the Freedom Riders in the South. Could you tell us about your experience with the Freedom Riders? Are there any specific memories of that time that still stick with you today?

We were first introduced to each other when ROSEGALLERY  showed Bitter Earth, a piece you collaborated with artist Carla Jay Harris on. How did you come to collaborate with Carla on this piece?
