Fatimah Tuggar Lecture
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
Fullerton Hall, 111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, October 1st, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Fatimah Tuggar followed by an audience Q&A.
Interdisciplinary artist Fatimah Tuggar uses dialogue and discovery among disciplines and cultures as a central artmaking approach. In her work, technology is a medium and subject that serves as a metaphor for power dynamics combining objects, images, and sounds from diverse geographies and histories to comment on how technology impacts local and global realities. Her work has been featured in Hirmer Publishers’ monograph Fatimah Tuggar: Home’s Horizons, and she has received a Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts and an A. W. Mellon Research Fellowship. She is an associate professor of AI in the Arts: Art & Global Equity at the University of Florida.
Established in 2006 by a generous gift from Bill and Stephanie Sick, this distinguished visiting professorship enables internationally renowned artists and designers to visit and teach at SAIC.
