LIZA JO EILERS
b. 1993, United StatesLiza Jo Eilers is a multimedia artist who works through the double bind of popular culture’s representation of women and how it can both resist and reinforce the very ideals it claims to challenge. She questions not just what we see, but how habits of seeing have become embedded in American identity and entertainment, shaped by decades of cultural failure and its lingering aftermath. The artist completed an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL (US) in 2020. In 2024 she was the recipient of the Soho House Dreamers in Residence Grant and the Hopper Prize Grant.
