Join us for an artist talk with Katya Grokhovsky, a Ukrainian-born, NYC-based artist, educator, and Founding Director of The Immigrant Artist Biennial for a look at her intuitive and collaborative artistic practice, plus a sneak peek into works in progress.
Grokhovsky’s practice is deeply rooted in her autobiographical journey of migration and engages with the shared histories and collective memories of displaced communities. During the artist talk, Grokhovsky will premier film work and provide insight into her current creative endeavors as GVSU’s 2024/25 Padnos Distinguished Artist In Residence.
This is a free event. Registration is encouraged.
