Silvia Ines Gonzalez | CO.LAB Artist
Silvia Gonzalez is a multidisciplinary artist and educator in Chicago, actively participating in spaces where collective wellness takes on critical dialogue, art-making, and community building.
Her visual and audio work are a ballad to nostalgia—the borderline between myth and memory. Silvia has curated and facilitated workshops addressing structures of power, imagination, play, confinement, and freedom.
Her work has been exhibited at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Woman Made Gallery, Hyde Park Art Center, ACRE, and local grassroots art spaces. She is a member of the Chicago ACT Collective, Multiuso, and the 96 ACRES Project.
She was awarded the 3Arts Make A Wave Award in 2018. As an organizer for POC (People of Color) Artist Space, she connects artists of color across Chicago to resources through meet-ups and development opportunities. She fiercely believes in the power of people, poetic intervention, and possibility.
