William Estrada grew up in California, Mexico, and Chicago. His approach to both art and teaching is centered on collaborative discourse. He draws on academic literature, educational settings, and personal interactions to report, record, reveal, and amplify lived experiences, aiming to foster radical imagination. He is well known for taking his mobile screen-printing cart directly out to the community in Chicago where he disseminates prints and risograph to the people. Estrada is an Asst. Professor in the Dept of Art and Art History at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC).

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.
