Tuwilê Raizes uses the visual language of Hip Hop, graffiti, and stencils. His murals appear on walls throughout São Paulo. Mirella Maria’s installation applies photography, performance, the body and sewing to construct a critical and sensitive perspective on narratives that traverse the memory(ies) of the Black Brazilian population.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.

Visit Tuwilê Raizes’ website and Mirella Maria’s website.

The Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series is supported in part by the UWM Black & Gold Committee and Differential Tuition funds, Frederick R. Layton Fund, the John Colt Memorial Art Fund, The Queer Curatorial Fund, Center for 21st Century Studies, Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists Program, Print Club, Focus, and OBJECT.
