Congratulations to Professor Beatriz Cortez, recipient of an ICA San Diego Star Award! Professor Cortez, along with artist Ashish Subedy, was recognized at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Future Forward Gala as an artist whose work and vision shape the cultural and creative landscape in meaningful ways.

Professor Cortez’s Glacial Erratic (2020) is currently on view at the ICA San Diego Sculpture Trail. Glacial Erratic evokes an ancient boulder, like the numerous glacial erratics that populate the landscape, and challenges how we imagine history, identity, and the future.
