Speakers:

Leonie Bradbury, Ph.D. is an art historian, scholar, and curator of contemporary art. She is the Director of Art and Creative Initiatives at HUBweek, a Boston-based innovation festival that explores intersections of art, science, and technology and their social impact.

Bradbury has curated over a hundred exhibitions of contemporary art that explore wide-ranging topics ranging from formal issues to more conceptual topics including feminism, biotechnology, and data networks. Many of her projects provide critical and social commentary through the lens of art. She has showcased the works of many well-known artists including Jenny Holzer, Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie and Wangechi Mutu. She is passionate about creating platforms for artists to share their work and ideas and believes artworks generate their own theories.

Bradbury holds a BA in Art History specializing in Art Nouveau from the University of Minnesota. She earned an MA in the History of Art from specializing in 20th Century Art Theory and Criticism at Boston University. In 2018, she completed a Ph.D. in Art Theory and Aesthetics at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in Visual Art, Portland, ME.

Katherine Mitchell DiRico uses drawing, sculpture, light, and sound elements to create multimedia installations that investigate how we negotiate connectivity and sense perception in today’s networked world.

Solo exhibitions include the Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in Boston, MA, Carol Schlosberg Alumni Gallery at Montserrat College of Art, Beverly, MA; Five Seven Delle Project Space, Boston, MA; and Porcelynne Gallery, San Francisco, CA. Selected group exhibitions include Edinburgh College of Art; Stockwell Studios in London; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Grossman Gallery at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Massachusetts Campus Compact Conference on Civic Engagement, all in Boston, MA; SOMArts Cultural Center, 66balmy Gallery, and Crucible Steel Gallery, all in San Francisco, CA; and the September Gallery, Hudson, NY.

Mitchell DiRico was awarded the Montague Travel Grant and the President’s Research Grant from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and the 2018 Walter Feldman Fellowship from the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston, juried by curator Jen Mergel. She holds a BA from Smith College and the University of Dakar, Senegal, and an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
