Amber Ginsburg Headshot

Amber Ginsburg is a Chicago-based artist and educator. Her site-generated projects and social sculptures blend historical scenarios with contemporary issues, envisioning alternative futures. Ginsburg explores the continuities and disruptions in material and social histories. Collaborating with communities and experts in fields like botany, political activism, and science fiction, she focuses on human survival and feminist strategies. Her large-scale sculptures invite audience participation, examining the blurred boundaries between human and nonhuman agency. Through material lineages such as tree species and porcelain, Ginsburg collaborates with objects as co-creators and narrative instigators. She is a Lecturer in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago.
