Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU

The JSMA at PSU is pleased to present a conversation between Vo Vo and Professor Andrew Santa Lucia (School of Architecture at PSU).

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University

Please join us for a dynamic conversation between Vo Vo and Professor Andrew Santa Lucia (School of Architecture at PSU) about the relationship between anti-authoritarianism, anti-fascism, anarchism, art and design. This event will take place in the galleries of JSMA near Vo Vo’s multimedia installation Still Fighting: Textile Workers of Lawrence, Strike of 1912 to present (2022), which was created for the exhibition <a href="https://sites.google.com/pdx.edu/weaving-data/weaving-data" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Weaving Data</a> that is currently on view. We invite you to engage more closely with Vo’s artwork and the overall exhibition through this interdisciplinary dialogue. Brandon Truett, Luce Foundation Curator of Academic Programs at the JSMA at PSU, will moderate the discussion. This program is free and open to the public. ASL interpreting will be provided. Vo's recently initiated career as a visual artist has seen them primarily work in textiles, embroidery, weaving, and furniture building. Their installations seek to interrogate power dynamics, structural oppression, challenge histories and realities of imperialism, white supremacy and colonization. They continue to explore support strategies and models of community care within a post-traumatic social landscape, focusing on the resilience of BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+ and disabled communities.Andrew Santa Lucia is a Cuban American designer, educator, and prison abolitionist, as well as Assistant Professor of Practice at PSU’s School of Architecture. He runs Office Andorus, which designs architecture for activists, public institutions and private clients with the goal of influencing public perception through the cultural instrument of architecture. He is currently co-writing a two volume book with historian &amp; critic Daniel Jonas-Roche, entitled Antifascist Architecture, which serves to locate architectural histories outside of capitalism in the 20th &amp; 21st centuries with a particular focus on the buildings &amp; aesthetics associated with militancy, socialism, anarchism and mutual aid.I﻿mage: Vo Vo, Still Fighting: Textile workers of Lawrence, Strike of 1912 to present (detail), 2022, audio, cotton, wool, 58 x 120 x 2 inches, ©Courtesy of the artist
