Y-Exchange is a monthly series of presentations about performing arts, technology and science and how they intersect and inform each other, in which selected artists and scientists are invited to talk about their life and work. This month, Y-Exchange is proud to present Interdisciplinary Artist Leah Dyjak and Psychiatrist & Writer Doris Iarovici. This event is open to the public and admission is free.Leah Dyjak is an interdisciplinary, lens-based artist splitting her time between Massachusetts and elsewhere. She received her MFA from the University of Texas at Austin.

Her images and installations push the edges of the photographic frame and play with our perceptions of perceived boundaries.

Her work has been shown at, Pump Project and Blue Star Contemporary in Texas, The Front Gallery in New Orleans and throughout the Northeast. She is represented by the Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown. https://www.leahdyjak.com/Doris Iarovici is a writer and psychiatrist who was born in Romania and immigrated as a child to New York.
