Jarvis Student Center for Innovation & Collaboration, DePaul University

1 E. Jackson Blvd. Concourse Level

Fabiola Torres-Alzaga (based in Mexico City) is an interdisciplinary artist who through her practice investigates visual geographies in their diverse fields of representation, and their repercussions in our socio-spatial relations, with special emphasis on the presences of the invisible. At this artist talk, Torres-Alzaga will give a presentation discussing a number of recent works including a screening of her film, Las Desinvitadas (The Uninvited), (2023). Torres-Alzaga will share with the audience an in-depth process on the realization of her projects related to the moving image, ranging from simple self-funded videos to larger complex productions.

Across video, film, installation, sculpture, photography, and drawing, Torres-Alzaga’s work deploys different visual possibilities in its nebulous constructions between what’s seen and what’s hidden. Her work has been exhibited at Museo MACRO (Roma, 2023), MUAC’s Sala 10 (Mexico, 2021), Bienal FEMSA (Zacatecas, 2018), Anthology Film Archives (New York, 2018), Lille3000 (France, 2019), Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento (Buenos Aires, 2018), among others. Her recent film was featured in Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin) and CWB (Paris) as part of Rencontres lnternationales Paris/Berlin, 2024.

Fabiola Torres-Alzaga will be visiting Chicago as part of the 2024-25 Collaboration Cohort of the Lit & Luz Festival, a cultural exchange between writers and visual artists from Mexico and Chicago, taking place in Chicago from October 26-November 2.
