VOICES: Aram Han SifuentesIn partnership with UIC’s Gender and Women’s Studies program and the Women’s Leadership and Resource Center at UIC
NEXT WEEK
Thursday, March 9
5:00–6:30pm CT
Gallery 400 Lecture Room,
400 S Peoria St • RSVP »
Artist and activist Aram Han Sifuentes’s work confronts social and racial injustices, interweaving fiber, social practice, performance, and pedagogy to consider themes of immigration, labor, and protest. Many of her projects, such as the ongoing Protest Banner Lending Library, aim to make art more accessible to the disenfranchised, especially immigrants of color. Since 2016, Sifuentes has brought communities together to sew protest banners, creating a creative outlet of resistance for those who cannot attend protests for their own safety.
Join Sifuentes for a lecture on their practice’s trajectory, exploring how they make political statements and engage communities through participatory art. Learn more » |
