Artist Laura Glazer takes us on a delightful journey of creating abundance through curiosity.
Whether sending letters through the mail, talking with strangers in the library, or celebrating a filmmaker through a city-wide poster campaign, her socially engaged art projects connect people with places and each other wherever she goes.
About the speaker
Laura Glazer is an artist uncovering and sharing exciting stories that she finds in places she lives and visits. Her work is socially-engaged and depends on the participation of other people, sometimes a close friend, and other times, complete strangers. Her background in photography and design inform her social practice, and her projects appear as books, workshops, radio shows, zines, festivals, exhibitions, installations, posters, signs, postal correspondence, and sculpture. She studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and is an MFA candidate in Art and Social Practice from Portland State University. Born in northern Virginia, she was a longtime resident of upstate New York and is now based in Portland, Oregon. Minutiae is her muse.
