Lauren Vanzandt-Escobar

Lauren Vanzandt-Escobar has parallel practices in education, research, and visual art. She has spent over a decade working in literacy education programs outside of and at the margins of formal schooling and is fascinated by questions around power and politics in literacy and art education in institutional settings. She is a printmaker and has a daily drawing practice that probes the relations between language and materiality, sound and image, place and movement, and the way in which drawing can embed itself into the interstices of everyday life. Born in the United States in a Colombian-American family, she currently resides in France.
