ARTIST IN CONVERSATION + INTERACTIVE DEMO WITH KIRA DOMINGUEZ HUTLGREN

February 1 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Free & open to the public

Participating artist Kira Dominguez Hultgren joins KAC for a conversation with our local fiber community. Afterward, visitors have the opportunity to participate in an interactive backstrap loom demonstration. Dominguez Hultgren weaves with the material afterlife of a so-called multiracial family: Chicanx-Indigenous-Indian-Hollywood Hawaiian-Brown-Black. Questions about cultural appropriation and codeswitching, exoticism, and performing cultural misrecognitions occupy their practice. When not in the studio, Dominguez Hultgren teaches weaving as an assistant professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Fiber and Material Studies.
