Alexandria Eregbu is a visual artist and arts practitioner. On a fundamental level, Alexandria believes that the impact of art is strengthened by shared values within community. As such, she is most dedicated to providing services that promote empowerment and advocacy for artists and communities engaging the arts. Her early background and interest in the purpose of art and communities was initially fostered through her involvement as Lead Teaching Artist and Co-Founder of the community curatorial project TRACE: Teens Reimagining Art, Community, and Environment. As an artist, Alexandria’s multi-vocational practice has received generous support from The Propeller Fund, Chicago Arts Coalition, The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Chicago, The University of Chicago’s Arts + Public Life, Independent Curators International, The Joyce Foundation, and 3Arts. She received her BFA in Performance and Fiber &amp; Material Studies and is a current MA Candidate in Visual and Critical Studies, both at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. She recently held the position as curator for Illinois Humanities’ city-wide initiative, Envisioning Justice. It examined how incarceration affects Chicago communities and interrogated the failures of our criminal justice system while presenting plans towards self-empowerment and communal liberation. She has several previous curatorial projects and you should check them all out on her platforms. In short, Alexandria is a showstopper, y’all. Her wondrous personality and dedication to authentic expression of self pours through in this episode. Live from our origin city, Alexandria guides us through finding home outside of just people and places, flowing with our internal rhythm, and creating what we need for ourselves. Enjoy as we dive deep into this nourishing conversation for the soul with Alexandria from the Chicago stop of The Black Girl In Om Expansion Tour.
