Wednesday, November 13, 2024
6:30 - 7:45 pm | Campbell 160

Please join the UVA Department of Art for two public programs featuring Los Angeles-based artist, activist and educator Sandra de la Loza. De la Loza is the Fall 2024 Ruffin Distinguished Visiting Artist. Along with presenting a public workshop and artist talk, she will be in Charlottesville conducting research for a future exhibition.

How can we creatively, critically, and consciously deepen and transform our relationship with the lands we live on? How can art move between the personal and the collective, the social and ecological, and beyond the gallery to create possibilities of embodied joy and transformation? Join Los Angeles based artist Sandra de la Loza  as she shares reflections, strategies and revelations from her unfolding trans-disciplinary artistic practice. 

About the artist:

Sandra de la Loza is a Los Angeles artist whose artistic practice investigates underlying power dynamics embedded in social space while exposing the gaps, absences and the in-between spaces within dominant historical narratives through performative, social and aesthetic strategies that result in multi-media installations, video, photography, and public interventions.
