Amitis Motevalli - Fine Arts Visiting Artist Lecture Series (VALS)
The undergraduate and graduate Fine Art departments will host Amitis Motevalli for a special artist lecture and Q&A on Tuesday, Feb 25, 11:00 a.m.–12:15 p.m., in the Forum.
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.
