About the speaker
Gericault De La Rose is a queer trans Filipinx, multidisciplinary artist, and educator. While developing her art practice, she worked as a Co-curator of Philippine Objects at the Field Museum of Natural History where she organized a series of monthly events called Pamanang Pinoy using the objects within the collection as conduits for community discussion. After graduating with a BFA with an emphasis in Art History from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she formed an artist collective, Export Quality, together with other Queer Filipinx alumni. De La Rose has also showcased her work in group shows in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Johnson City, New York, and Toronto. De La Rose attended the ACRE residency in Steuben, Wisconsin and the HATCH artist residency for the Chicago Artist Coalition in 2020. In 2022, she received the San Francisco Foundation’s Jack K. and Gertrude Murphy Award and received her MFA from UC Berkeley in 2023. She had her first solo exhibition at Co-Prosperity Sphere in Chicago and finished her artist residency, Arrozidency, at Minnesota Street Project in 2024. Most recently she exhibited at the San Francisco Arts Commission gallery and will debut new work at CounterPulse this summer.
