Join us for a lecture by distinguished alum Edra Soto (MFA 2000) followed by an audience Q&A.Location: The Art Institute of Chicago, Fullerton Hall, 111 S. Michigan Ave.
Edra Soto (MFA 2000) is a Puerto Rican–born artist, educator, and co-director of outdoor project space The Franklin. Soto instigates meaningful, relevant, and often difficult conversations surrounding socioeconomic and cultural oppression, erasure of history, and loss of cultural knowledge. Having grown up in Puerto Rico, and now immersed in her Chicago community, the artist has evolved to raise questions through her work about constructed social orders, diasporic identity, and the legacy of colonialism.
