Sheryl Oring is an artist whose work examines social issues through projects that blend old and new media to tell stories, amplify public opinion and foster open exchange. Since 2004, she has typed thousands of postcards to U.S. presidents through her signature “I Wish to Say” project, which has been presented at dozens of universities, museums and libraries across the country.
Oring will present a lecture at 12 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 29, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the U of A campus as part of the fall 2025 lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design.
This lecture is presented in partnership with the School of Art in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
In her lecture, “In Search of the Quintessential Question,” Oring will share how asking the right questions — a skill she honed while working as a journalist early in her career — has guided her collaborations with architects and designers in completing public art commissions.
This lecture is open to the public. Admission is free, with limited seating.
