- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 21 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for a lecture by artist Linda Sormin followed by an audience Q&amp;A.

Location: The Art Institute of Chicago, Fullerton Hall, 111 S. Michigan Ave.

Linda Sormin’s ceramic and mixed media sculptures and site-responsive installations embody vulnerable and fragmented parts of human experience. Since the early 2000’s, Sormin has established a distinct visual and material language, using raw clay, fired ceramics, found objects, and interactive methods. She integrates writing, video, sound, and hand-cut paintings with clay, metal, and wood. Sormin’s research and writing cast light on how her work has always been influenced—though at times unwittingly—by cultural practices in her family histories rooted in Thailand, China, and Indonesia. Her solo exhibition Linda Rotua Sormin: Uncertain Ground is currently on view at the Gardiner Museum, Toronto through April 12.

This event is free, non-ticketed and open to the general public.
