Join us at Fullerton Hall for a lecture by Bill & Stephanie Sick distinguished visiting professor Fatimah Tuggar followed by an audience Q&A.Location: The Art Institute of Chicago, Fullerton Hall, 111 S. Michigan Ave.
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 exhibited in more than 25 countries. She has received accolades including the Guggenheim Fellowship for Creative Arts and an A. W. Mellon Research Fellowship. Her ideas and artworks have been featured in publications including Hirmer Publishers’ monograph Fatimah Tuggar: Home's Horizons. Tuggar has contributed to the global discourse on contemporary art through talks, workshops, and publications such as 72 Assignments: The Foundation Course in Art and Design Today, and the Visual Communications Journal issue on "The Ethics of Images." She is a professor of AI in the Arts: Art & Global Equity at the University of Florida.
