Lisa Alvarado (b. 1982, San Antonio, TX) is an artist and musician based in Chicago. Her practice gravitates towards creative traditions of overcoming and exuberant forms of resilience, and her perspective is rooted in the under-represented American history of the Chicanx/Mexican American diaspora. She plays harmonium in the band Natural Information Society and uses her free-hanging paintings as mobile stage sets for their performances. Alvarado’s recent solo exhibitions include Spiral Yellow at The Modern Institute, Glasgow (2024); Spinning Echo at Bridget Donahue, New York (2023); Lisa Alvarado / MATRIX 192 at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford (2023); among many others. She has been included in the numerous recent group exhibitions, including the 2022 Whitney Biennial.
