Edra Soto: Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
Fullerton Hall, 111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, February 18th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Edra Soto followed by an audience Q&A.
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.
Presented in partnership with SAIC Alumni Engagement
