Join us for the NDEAM keynote speaker, Liza Sylvestre, a deaf transdisciplinary artist, co-founder of Crip: Cripistemology and the Arts, and Research Assistant Professor within the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign as she discusses: Working Cripistemologically. “Crip moves away from the problem-solving approach to disability in the arts and towards a creative methodology that utilizes a Crip framework as an integral part of art critical discourse and production.”

Sylvestre is the recipient of various residencies, grants, fellowships, and awards. Her work has been exhibited in many museums and galleries worldwide, including the John Hansard Gallery (Southampton), ARGOS (Brussels), MMK (Frankfurt), Museum Marta Herford (Herford, Germany), MIT List Visual Arts Center (Cambridge), BFI (London), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (NYC). Sylvestre's work has been featured in various publications, including Art in America, Mousse Magazine, Ocula Magazine, Art Monthly, SciArt Magazine, and others.
