Aram Han Sifuentes Keynote: Creating A Seed for Action
THU OCT 22nd @ 4:30PM CST on Zoom
2020-2021 DFPA Artist-in-Residence Aram Han Sifuentes uses art to disrupt, unsettle, and rupture dominant narrative to assert, demand and claim spaces for those who are commonly othered, particularly for immigrants of color. She will talk about her projects U.S. Citizenship Test Sampler, Protest Banner Lending Library, and Official Unofficial Voting Station: Voting for All Who Legally Can’t and how she uses art to confront social and racial injustices against the disenfranchised and riff off of official institutions and bureaucratic processes to reimagine new, inclusive, and humanized systems of civic engagement and belonging.
