SFAI Graduate Lecture: Alfredo Jaar

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Alfredo Jaar is one of the foremost practitioners of a social, integrated art practice.

His public works simultaneously question the efficacy of art to produce social

change, and generate authentic transformation in diverse contexts. Since the early

1980s, Chilean-born Jaar has created incisive installations, photographs, films,

and community-based projects that produce new ways of seeing subjects, such as

homelessness in Montreal, the holocaust in Rwanda, and gold mining in Brazil. His

work is noted for its power to establish unexpected platforms of cultural impact and

to re-engage desensitized Western audiences with global inequities.
