Jen Delos Reyes—Visiting Artist Lecture
TONIGHT! Tuesday, November 8th
6:30 PM in the VAC, Room 1B88*
Jen Delos Reyes is the strong eldest daughter of an immigrant single mother. Through her upbringing on Canada’s prairies she learned about resourcefulness, community building, and how to prioritize joy, fashion, and aesthetics from her Filipine mother. She is the first homeowner and degree holder in her immediate family. She centers her practice around education, ecologies, and the transformative possibilities of sharing domestic space as a community resource.
Jen identifies with Wendell Berry’s description as a 'farmer of sorts and an artist of sorts,' an educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer. She is defiantly optimistic, a friend to all birds, and a proponent that our institutions can become tender and vulnerable. Delos Reyes divides her time between Chicago and Ithaca, where she is invested in cultivating land-based community-sustained projects.

Imani Jacqueline Brown — Visiting Artist Lecture
Next week! Tuesday, November 15, 2022
6:30 PM in VAC auditorium, 1B20
Imani Jacqueline Brown is an artist, activist, and researcher from New Orleans, now based in London. Her work investigates the 'continuum of extractivism’, which spans from settler-colonial genocide and slavery to fossil fuel production. In exposing the layers of violence and resistance that comprise the foundations of US society, Imani opens up space to imagine a path to ecological reparations. In addition to her artist-activist practice, Imani is presently a researcher with Forensic Architecture, as well as a PhD candidate at Queen Mary, University of London.
