Valerie Soe will screen her work on Thursday, April 15, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Textor 102.
Valerie Soe is an artist whose work deals both explicitly and implicitly with issues found in a society that is in transition from a predominantly white European culture to one whose growing Latino and Asian population affects and influences everything from the food we eat, the music we listen to, and the way in which we view the rest of the world. She primarily utilizes an autobiographical, experimental approach to explicate broader social and political concerns such as racial discrimination and bigotry, intimate interpersonal relationships, and the ostracizing of those falling outside society's behavioral conventions. She uses text, found footage, installation, interactive elements, and autobiography to look at these concerns.
