In Conversation: Darrell McKinney and Luis Rodríguez Rosario

Thursday, July 25, 2019

How do we communicate important ideas through visual culture and material objects? How can sculpture, design and architecture act as catalysts for change or opportunities for conversation? In exploring these questions, Driehaus Curatorial Fellow, Kekeli Sumah will host a conversation with two of our Chicago-based A Tale of Today Artist Fellows Darrell McKinney and Luis Rodríguez Rosario, to discuss the ways in which, materials and concepts come together to spur conversations in their art and design practice.
