Torkwase Dyson Lecture
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
111 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, March 7th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Torkwase Dyson followed by an audience Q&A.
Working in painting, drawing, and sculpture, Torkwase Dyson combines expressive mark-making and geometric abstraction to explore the continuity between ecology, infrastructure, and architecture. Dyson deconstructs, distills, and interrogates the built environment, exploring how individuals—particularly Black and Brown people—negotiate, negate, and transform systems and spatial order. Throughout her work and research, Dyson seeks to confront issues of environmental liberation, envisioning a path toward a more equitable future.
This event will be live captioned by Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services. The auditorium is wheelchair accessible and hearing assisted devices are available. For additional access requests, visit saic.edu/access.
