Amitis Motevalli is an artist who explores the cultural resistance and survival of people living in poverty, conflict, catastrophe, and/or war. Her experiences as a trans-national migrant and in community organizing are foundational in her work and research. Through many media, digital, analog, static, and live, her work juxtaposes and contrasts iconography with iconoclasm, memorials with monuments, and archive methodologies with canon. Her work intends to ask questions about archiving, documentation, and canonization of violence-related histories. In this line of questioning, she subverts populism by invoking the significance of a secular grassroots struggle. She is primarily based in Los Angeles, exhibiting art internationally and organizing to create an active and critical cultural discourse through information exchange, either in art or pedagogy, with cultural producers and educators.

Margaret Honda - Fine Arts Visiting Artist Lecture Series (VALS)
The undergraduate and graduate Fine Art departments will host Margaret Honda for a special artist lecture and Q&A on Tuesday, March 11, 11:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m., in the Forum.
Margaret Honda (b. 1961) is an American experimental filmmaker and artist in California. She began her career in sculpture before turning to film. Honda's work in visual art and film deals specifically with materials and their intended and incidental purposes, an interest she attributes partly to her academic studies in material culture.
