Guadalupe Maravilla Lecture
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
111 S Michigan Ave, Fullerton Hall, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, September 12th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Guadalupe Maravilla followed by an audience Q&A.
Combining sculpture, painting, performative acts, and installation, Guadalupe Maravilla grounds his transdisciplinary practice in activism and healing. Engaging a wide variety of visual cultures, Maravilla’s work is autobiographical, referencing his unaccompanied, undocumented migration to the United States due to the Salvadoran Civil War. Across all media, Maravilla explores how the systemic abuse of immigrants physically manifests in the body, reflecting on his own battle with cancer.
Presented in partnership with SAIC’s Wellness Center.
