Marisa Morán Jahn

Artist talk and Film Screening

Friday, October 7, 7 PM, RPL Film Theatre

Join us for a discussion and screening of films by Bibliobandido wrangler Marisa Moran Jahn.

An artist, filmmaker, and transmedia producer of Ecuadorian and Chinese descent, Marisa Morán Jahn’s works redistribute power, “exemplifying the possibilities of art as social practice” (ArtForum). Characterizing her playful approach, MIT CAST writes, ‘[Jahn] introduces a trickster-like humor into public spaces and discourses, and yet it is a humor edged with political potency.” Codesigned with youth, new immigrants, and working families, Jahn’s public artwork, civic media tools, installations, films, architectural and urban-scale collaborations have engaged millions both on the street and at venues such as the United Nations, Tribeca Film Festival, Obama’s White House, Museum of Modern Art, and Venice Biennale of Architecture. Her work has received international media coverage in outlets including The New York Times, CNN, the BBC, Univision Global, Hyperallergic, Art in America, Architectural Review, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, PBS, and hundreds more.

She has received grants and awards from Sundance, Tribeca Film Institute, Creative Capital, National Endowment for the Arts, Rockefeller Foundation, Open Society, Anonymous Was A Woman, and more.
