Flagler College welcomes Seattle-based Peruvian born artist and independent curator Rafael Soldi as the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum’s (CEAM) Artist-in-Residence from Saturday, November 16 through Saturday, November 30, 2024. An artist talk with Soldi will be held on Friday, November 22 at 6:30pm at Flagler College’s Ringhaver Student Center Virginia Room, 50 Sevilla Street, downtown St. Augustine. This event is free and open to the public.
Rafael Soldi is an artist and curator based in Seattle, Washington that utilizes video, photography, installation, text and performance to comment on masculinity, language, immigration, violence, and memory, informed by his queer, Peruvian identity. Soldi blends personal history with collective memory to explore how gender expectations are deeply embedded in language and childhood games — and how they can be destabilized. His recent works implicate a type of masculinity that favors violence and erases the necessity of intimacy and connection.
