Artist Sofía Córdova visits to share about her interdisciplinary practice.

We’re proud to join Ohio State’s Department of Art in welcoming Córdova to the Wex. Through performance, video, sound, music, installation, and photography, Córdova considers sci-fi as alternative history, dance music’s liberatory dimensions, colonial contamination, climate change, migration, and most recently, revolution—historical and imagined—within the matrix of class, gender, race, and late capitalism and its technologies.

"I am very invested in the future as being conversant with the past…looking at past revolution and past struggle as something that is indeterminate, as something that is messy."
Sofía Córdova, interviewed by Carmen Winant, Carla (Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles)
