About our Guest: Fatima Laster is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist, curator, and proprietor of 5 Points Art Gallery+ Studios. In both her independent and communal practices, and with a Black American vantage point, Laster broaches racism, sexism, classism, cultural appropriation, and housing/land displacement, a.k.a “gentrification” or “deracination.” She produces resistance art, disarming viewers with humor or irony as she reveals rejected or overlooked perspectives and people. Laster’s honors include the Wisconsin Artists Biennial 2022 at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Wisconsin Triennial Guest Curator (2022), City of Milwaukee Arts Board Mildred L. Harpole Artist of the Year (2024), and her solo exhibition, Enough Too Fly Solo (2024), at 5 Points Art Gallery + Studios.
