After the tour, continue the conversation with Lisa in the studio over tea and light refreshments.
Organized in conjunction with the exhibition, Talismans for a Theater of Resilience.
Lisa Alvarado is a visual artist and musician that bridges vibrational forms and reimagines collective space. She works with painting, wall murals, light, sand, sound and musical performance, creating works that engage with abstraction as an ancient and global tradition that precedes European modernism. Her pulsating works draw on her Mexican American perspective as well as her interests in vibration and the cyclic rhythms within music, nature, and the body. Alvarado plays harmonium in the band Natural Information Society and uses her free-hanging paintings as mobile stage sets in their performances.
