Her current work uses craft as a performative medium to generate dialogues about identity, culture and gender while creating community. Recent museum exhibitions include Disrupting Craft: Renwick Invitational 2018 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; and Craft and Care at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. Jackie Amézquita | Latin-American artist based in Los Angeles, California. Amezquita’s work makes use of durational performances, site specificity and materiality to explore a visual language that rebalances the power of socio-political relationships. Amézquita is interested in exploring the narratives created in these social environments and how socioeconomic differences between power structures affect the relationship between the body and the landscape. *Moderated by Guisela Latorre | Professor, Department of History of Art, The Ohio State University Accessibility If you have questions or require an accommodation, such as live captioning or interpretation, to participate in these events, email Event Coordinator Melissa Rodriguez (rodriguez.796@osu.edu).
