Venue: Kathleen Fitzpatrick Theatre, Kathleen Fitzpatrick Theatre
Presenters: Associate Professor Julia Bryan-Wilson
Keir Foundation Lecture.
Associate Professor Julia Bryan-Wilson will give a lecture on Chilean artist and poet Cecilia Vicuña.
This talk discusses Vicuña's sculptural work looking closely at her textile-based work from the 1970s to think through issues of production and materiality. Drawing on her forthcoming book, Fray: Art and Textile Politics, Julia Bryan-Wilson investigates how Vicuña's use of knotted threads and strings signified politically during the Pinochet dictatorship and in relation to Andean systems of knowledge production. She explores a range of art and performance from several decades of Vicuña's practice to illuminate how textiles unravel preconceived ideas about handicraft, industry, and memory.
Julia's visit and lecture is supported by the Keir Foundation.
