Capítulo 044: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by interdisciplinary artist, activist, and curator, Savanah Pennell. Listen in as we discuss the intersection of Art & Activism, storytelling as a tool for creating change, and exploring new ways of communicating through Art.
Savanah Pennell (b. 1995, Honolulu, HI) is an artist, curator, activist, and scholar. Pennell was raised in Mesa, Arizona, and finds a deep connection to her ancestors who inhabited the same geography in the desert. Currently based in Colorado Springs, CO, her curatorial practice is focused on the intersections found in Latinx, Chicanx, and Indigenous art produced in the Southwestern United States. Working in photography, video, performance, and installation, her artistic practice addresses Chicanx identity and issues of archiving, memory, and ancestry. Savanah Pennell received her BA in Art History and Studio Art from Arizona State University in 2016, and her MA is Arts Politics from New York University in 2019. Her current field of research is focused on developing methods for repatriation of Spanish Colonial art and determining how to decolonize the museum space.
