Artist Talk: Lisa Jarrett at Missoula Art Museum

Join visiting artist Lisa Jarrett at Missoula Art Museum for a FREE public artist talk, hosted in collaboration with MATRIX Press and University of Montana’s School of Visual and Media Arts. Jarrett will be creating a new series of prints during her residency in the Print Studio with MATRIX, October 2-6.

Jarrett exists and makes work within the African Diaspora. She lives in Portland, Oregon where she co-authors social practice projects and continues her 14+ year investigation into Black hair and its care in various forms. She is Associate Professor of Community and Context Arts at Portland State University’s School of Art + Design where she teaches classes in Art + Social Practice.

Jarrett works in social and visual forms. Her intersectional practice considers the politics of difference within a variety of settings including: schools, landscapes, fictions, racial imaginaries, studios, communities, museums, galleries, walls, mountains, mirrors, floors, rivers, and prisms.

She recently discovered that her primary medium is questions; the most urgent of which is: What will set you free?
