RTS is delighted to host talks with artist in residence Jessalyn Aaland and artist Lisa Rybovich Crallé on Tuesday, May 7th at 7pm. See you there!
Jessalyn Aaland is a Bay Area interdisciplinary artist working across social practice, painting, and sculpture to explore how the systems, particularly the K-12 education system, function as a sites for both conformity and resistance. Her socially-engaged projects address youth and teacher audiences, often taking the form of workshops and Risograph-printed posters and zines, and have been supported with funding from Southern Exposure, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. She has been an artist-in-residence at Facebook, North Mountain (West Virginia), and Sim (Reykjavik), and is a 2018-2019 Political Power fellow at YBCA. www.jessalynaaland.com
