Join us Monday, March 27 at MCA Denver at the Holiday for an exciting talk with renowned street artist Swoon, in conversation with Miranda Lash, MCA Denver’s Ellen Bruss Senior Curator. The two will delve into conversation about the intersection of art and activism, exploring how Swoon’s work addresses social and political issues with grace and beauty. With a focus on process, technique, and inspiration, this evening will provide insight into the mind and motivation of one of the most influential street artists of our time.
About the Artist
Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, is a contemporary artist and filmmaker recognized around the world for her pioneering vision of public artwork. Through intimate portraits, immersive installations and multi-year community-based projects, she has spent over 20 years exploring the depths of human complexity by mobilizing her artwork to fundamentally re-envision the communities we live in toward a more just and equitable world. She is best known as one of the first women Street Artists to gain international recognition in a male-dominated field, pushing the conceptual limits of the genre and paving the way for a generation of women Street Artists. She is currently developing a full length narrative movie which will bring together drawing, immersive installation, stop motion animation and her collaborative work, with the traditions of storytelling through film. She is a 2021 Sundance Screenwriters Lab Fellow and a 2022 Sundance Directors Lab Fellow.
