Elizabeth Mputu

Artist Talk

October 25th, 2017 at 5:30pm

University of Washington, Communication Building, Room 120

In this artist's talk, Elizabeth Mputu will discuss their practice of mobilizing video, interactive media, sculpture, and installation to examine questions of play, spirituality, and well/being within and beyond virtual space. Their multimedia and multiplatform practice engages questions of sex, gender, blackness, and queerness in ways that press against the privileging of whiteness that categories such as "internet art" and "feminist net art" can encompass, while also posing trenchant critiques of the mythos of the internet-as-utopia.

Hosted by the The Black Embodiments Studio, a writing incubator and public lecture series that examines how definitions of blackness are produced and expressed through visual, aural, and affective realms - engaging three domains that underwrite the physical and metaphysical dimensions of inhabiting black skin. The Black Embodiments Studio is funded by the Simpson Center and continually supported by The Jacond Lawrence Gallery.
