Art21 Screening

November 13, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free and open to the public

Please join us on November 13 for a screening of Art21 Season 9, featuring the San Francisco Bay Area episode. This episode features artist Stephanie Syjuco, whose work is currently on view at 21c Kansas City as part of the exhibition Refuge.

This event is produced in collaboration with Art21, a nonprofit global leader in art education, producing preeminent films on today’s leading visual artists and education programs that inspire creativity worldwide.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS
A longtime home for political progressives and technological pioneers, the San Francisco Bay Area is a magnet for artists who are drawn to its experimental atmosphere, counter-cultural spirit, and history of innovation. In addition to presenting three artists working across photography, installation, and new media, this episode features a nonprofit art center, spotlighting multiple artists with physical and cognitive disabilities who work in a range of mediums. The artists in this hour are united by their steadfastness and persistence in creating; their art serves as an essential expression of their experience of the world.

ABOUT STEPHANIE SYJUCO 
Stephanie Syjuco makes research-driven photographs, sculptures, and installations that explore the tension between the authentic and the counterfeit and challenge deep-seated assumptions about history, race, and labor. As a flashpoint of social and political protest, the Bay Area spurs Syjuco’s investigations of colonialism, capitalism, and citizenship, in works that range from her participatory projects to her studio-portrait photographs.
