After School Matters Summer 2020

Creativity Caught Me Making

THE ARTWORK

Through portraits we got to know each other and learn more about ourselves because we had to express it through art.
The opportunity to expose ourselves to different events and problems currently happening in the world and speak out against them even though we are teenagers.

THE INSTRUCTOR

Verónica Casado Hernández

ASM Instructor

I am a visual artist, cultural historian, and educator based in Chicago, Illinois. In my studio and writing practice I engage in trans historical drag, and use anachronisms as tools of critical examination that address narratives of power and rebellion. I enjoy reading, walking, taking naps, and immerse myself in byzantine discussions that aim to dismantle white heteropatriarchal capitalism.
