Lisa Yuskavage was in conversation with writer Christian Viveros-Fauné about painting and politics. Using Yuskavage's recent Babie Brood: Small Paintings 1985-2018 exhibition and Viveros-Fauné's new book, Social Forms: A Short History of Political Art as starting points, their conversation explored moments of political crisis and the ways in which they are reflected and preserved in relevant artworks, including those by Yuskavage and by artists who have influenced her practice.

The discussion was followed by a book signing of Social FormsHarper’s Bazaar Arabia calls the book a "compelling resource to how artists over the past one hundred and fifty years have handled, challenged, and interpreted shifting systems of politics, conflict, consumerism, inequality, and technology."
