Coexistence Lecture at the SDMA

Explore the intersection of art, culture, and identity through the eyes of an artist who has dedicated her life to bridging worlds through creativity and understanding. Don’t miss hearing artist Becky Guttin as she presents a captivating exploration of cultural fusion and artistic innovation. Drawing from her unique perspective as a binational artist, Guttin masterfully weaves together the threads of two worlds. Her artistic practice, which includes the meticulous weaving of traditional sacks and integration of organic materials with technological components, serves as a metaphor for the rich tapestry of borderland life.

“I want to focus on everything positive about binationality,” Guttin explains. “Living on the border, one crosses back and forth, witnessing profound experiences that go beyond language – manifesting in food, landscape, and ultimately, in my work.” In her work Guttin demonstrates how seemingly contrasting elements – the organic and the mechanical, the traditional and the modern, the domestic and the industrial – can coexist in peaceful harmony. Her work stands as a testament to the power of embracing cultural differences and finding beauty in unexpected connections.
