Next Monday, September 28: Award-winning contemporary artist Rodrigo Valenzuela visits the Welch School of Art & Design at Georgia State University.

Rodrigo Valenzuela’s work addresses Latin American sociopolitical history, labor unions, and undocumented workers. It is shaped by blue-collar aesthetics. Autobiographical elements inform a postcapitalist critique of social and civic institutions. His practice blurs documentary and fiction to address the tension between individuals and the way their own communities are often represented. A Guggenheim Fellow and Associate Professor at UCLA, his work has been exhibited at the New Museum, Portland Art Museum, and the Frye Art Museum, among others. — Free and open to the Public Monday, September 28, 5:30-6:45 pm Florence Kopleff Recital Hall, 15 Gilmer St SE, Atlanta, GA 30303 Walking distance from Five Points and Georgia State MARTA Stations, paid parking at T-Deck.
