Maria Lai Symposium

A full day of conversations, reflections, and artistic responses to the work of Maria Lai

Join us for a full day of conversations, reflections, and artistic responses to the work of Maria Lai. The Maria Lai Symposium brings together scholars, artists, and former collaborators of Lai to explore the ongoing resonance of her legacy across disciplines and generations.

The program will include a keynote address by Dr. Alessandro Giammei (Yale University), scholarly presentations by Michele D'Aurizio (UC Berkeley) and Saskia Verlaan (CUNY Graduate Center), as well as conversations and guided tours of the exhibition with contemporary artists Marcello Maloberti, Martha Tuttle, Melissa McGill, and Mila Dau.

This symposium will provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Maria Lai’s practice while engaging in dialogues about her art, language, and legacy.
