Please join us on Thursday, April 9 for a visiting artist lecture with Deborah Stratman at 1:00 p.m. in Auditorium 150.
Artist and filmmaker Deborah Stratman makes work about power, experience, history and belief, exploring how places, ideas, and society are intertwined. She regards sound as the ultimate multi-tool and time to be supernatural. Recent projects have addressed freedom, surveillance, public speech, sinkholes, levitation, orthoptera, raptors, comets, the EM spectrum, geopoetics, evolution, extinction, exodus, sisterhood and faith. Stratman’s films and artworks have been exhibited widely. She is a recipient of Fulbright, Guggenheim and United States Artist Fellowships, the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, Sundance Art of Nonfiction Award and grants from Creative Capital, JustFilms, Jeonju Cinema Project, Graham Foundation, Harpo Foundation, Shifting Foundation and Wexner Center for the Arts. She lives in Chicago where she teaches at the University of Illinois.
