Conversations at the Edge | An Evening with Victoria Vincent

@ Siskel Film Center

164 N State St, Chicago, IL 60601

Opening Thursday, March 5th, from 6PM - 8PM

Los Angeles–based artist Victoria Vincent, who posts online as “vewn,” presents a survey of her zeitgeist-defining animations—from early viral hits to recent projects like Dirt Girls (2021) and Snooze Quest (2025)—acid-colored and blackly comic works that map the psychic fallout of life shaped by platforms, protocols, and perpetual crisis.

Followed by a conversation with Victoria Vincent and audience Q&A.

Presented in partnership with DePaul University’s School of Cinematic Arts.
