The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University are thrilled to welcome artist Walid Raad as the 2024 Solomon Fellow. Please join us for an artist talk on April 11.
About the Artist
In part, an artist and a Professor of Art in The Cooper Union, and Distinguished Visiting Professor of Photography in Bard College (2023-2024). The list of exhibitions (good, bad and mediocre ones); awards and grants (merited, not merited, grateful for, rejected and/or returned); education (some of it thought-provoking; some of it, less so); publications (I am fond of some of my books, but more so of the books of Jalal Toufic. You can find his here: jalaltoufic.com), can be found somewhere online.
The Solomon Fellowship invites artists, filmmakers, and critics with strong visions and voices, embedding them into the life of the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies. Fellows interact with students and faculty through class visits, workshops, and a public presentation, deepening the impact of visiting artists through student engagement. The Fellowship, a generous gift of the Solomon Family, extends visiting artists' involvement in the life of the Department and the University at large.
