Artist Talk with Rafael Soldi
Seattle-based, Peruvian born artist and independent curator Rafael Soldi is the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum’s (CEAM) Artist-in-Residence from Saturday, November 16 through Saturday, November 30, 2024.
Free and open to the public … an Artist Talk with Soldi will be on Friday, November 22, 2024 at 6:30pm at in the Virginia Room at Flagler College’s Ringhaver Student Center.
Soldi is an artist and curator that utilizes video, photography, installation, text, and performance to comment on masculinity, language, immigration, violence, and memory, informed by his queer, Peruvian identity. He blends personal history with collective memory to explore how gender expectations are deeply embedded in language and childhood games — and how they can be destabilized. His recent works implicate a type of masculinity that favors violence and erases the necessity of intimacy and connection.
