Michael Rakowitz will speak through projects and materials that create portals through which the notion of home can be remembered and re-membered. A conversation on belonging, not belonging, displacements, violent dispossessions and dinner.

Michael Rakowitz is an Iraqi-American artist working at the intersection of problem-solving and troublemaking.  In 2018, he was the recipient of the Herb Alpert Award in the Arts and the Fourth Plinth commission in London’s Trafalgar Square. In 2020, he was the recipient of the Public Art Dialogue award and the Nasher Prize. Between 2019 and 2020, a survey of Rakowitz’s work traveled from Whitechapel Gallery in London, to Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in Torino, to the Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai. Rakowitz lives and works in Chicago.
