The Art Lecture Series presents a broad range of interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary art issues by artists, writers, activists and scholars. The ongoing aim is to feature an array of practices coming out of a variety of fields, areas of inquiry, and creative production, from people active outside the world of our campus. The series provides a lively forum for the exchange of ideas between the speakers, students, faculty, staff, and the public.

Satpreet Kahlon is a Panjabi-born artist, organizer, and educator based on Coast Salish territories. She received a full-fellowship to pursue her MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 2019. She co-founded and ran an Indigenous arts organization that supported 400 artists with over $2m of opportunities and rematriated 1.5 acres of greenspace that was slated for development during her tenure from 2017-2023. For this work, she was named one of the Most Influential People in Seattle by Seattle Magazine in 2019. Regarding her artistic practice, she has written in a statement: “My practice is concerned with illegibility, inscrutability, and collapse. Beginning with the understanding that most Indigenous cultures are existing in a post-apocalyptic reality, I approach the act of building sculpture as a kind of prayer: a futile attempt to communicate with and better know generations of lost, unknowable histories. An endlessly looping signal without reply.”
