Part of the CAS/MillerComm Lecture Series
Amanda Browder will discuss her public art project, Chromatopia, in collaboration with the School of Art + Design and Stratton Academy of the Arts. Browder’s public art projects aim to give a voice to the community via collaborative contemporary art practices. Her work aims to level the hierarchy between the artist and the audience. Through her open call for fabric donations and public sewing days, she encourages all visitors to feel ownership and pride in the collective making of a visual art piece for their community.
The CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.
This Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Art Education Program in conjunction with the Art History Program, College of Education, Department of Dance, Department of Theatre, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, Krannert Art Museum, School of Art + Design, School of Social Work, Spurlock Museum, Stratton Elementary School, The CU Community Fab Lab, and the University YMCA.
