Description: Fatimah Tuggar is a multidisciplinary artist, who uses technology as both a medium and a subject in her work to serve as metaphors for power dynamics. She combines, objects, images, and sounds from diverse cultures, geographies, and histories to comment on how media and technology diversely impact local and global realities. Lunch is provided. Parking vouchers are provided for the Medical Center parking decks.Abstract: Borrowing from the familiar language of advertisement, popular entertainment, and folklore, also drawing from the experimental, visual artworks are created that investigate the cultural and social implications of our everyday use of technology. Technology is both medium and a subject of this artwork. Technology severs as a metaphor for power dynamics to explore how media diversely impacts our realities. Assemblage, collage, and montage are the central methods of exploration and expression for these ideas.
