In this presentation, Pepón Osorio will speak about the process of making his large-scale installations and his methodology for engaging working-class communities. He will highlight key projects, describing how the concept of "imperfect freedom" influences the form and aesthetics of his art. Osorio will share his philosophy, developed over many years, of embracing flaws, accepting limitations, and finding liberation in being authentically human rather than striving for impossible perfection. Through his work, Osorio empowers you to embrace your own narrative.

This event is part of the 2026 Cleveland Humanities Festival: Freedom.

Registration is requested.
