About this Event
is an artist, designer, educator, and geographer in the Washington, D.C. area who uses image-making, sculpture, and community engagement as a practice of remembrance and critical fabulation. They focus on politics of land, body, and occupation in their work, and their practice is informed by archival research and reclamation of their own Nde (Apache) indigeneity. Enríquez earned their B.A. in Design from California Lutheran University (2018) and their M.F.A. in Fine Arts at George Washington University (2020). They’ve been awarded fellowships and residencies at Hamiltonian Artists in Washington, D.C. (2020–22), The Studios at MASS MoCA (2021), and MoCA Arlington (2022–present). Their artwork has been shown at The Kreeger Museum, Hamiltonian Artists, and Culture House in Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Arlington, VA; and Edge on the Square in San Francisco, CA. Enríquez’s practice has extended beyond their artwork into project support and graphic design for the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at GW as well as for the artist collective Related Tactics (Michele Carlson and Weston Teruya). Recently, after entering the field of geography, Enríquez was part of a team of geographers working with The Nature Conservancy (Maryland/DC chapter) towards completing a report to be presented to legislators and stakeholders titled “SEAFARE (Supporting Equitable Access to Funding for Adaptation Resources)” at the 2024 National Adaptation Forum in Saint Paul, MN. Enríquez has taught at the Corcoran at GW, American University, and George Mason University as an adjunct for the past four years. In their spare time, they’re an avid runner and motorcyclist.
This talk is a part of the Studio Arts and Design Research + Practice lecture and conversation series, occurring on Wednesday nights. The Research + Practice series invites acclaimed artists, writers, critics and scholars to the Corcoran School throughout the year. The talks are free to the public, providing both the community and our students access to thought-provoking examples of contemporary research and practice and a chance to engage with leading cultural figures. Speakers are nominated and selected by the Studio Arts and Design programs, hosted by students and faculty at the historic Beaux Arts Flagg Building in Washington, D.C. Dates for the Research + Practice series are listed below.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
