About the Keynote Speaker:
Chloé Duplessis creates images that elevate the unknown, illuminate the forgotten, and mindfully address the present. In doing so, Duplessis seeks to center the importance of shared history, and erode the social constructs that oppress people of color and those navigating disability. She is a legally blind artist, curator, and historian committed to creating work that centers equity, accessibility, and healing. With over twenty years of experience in intercultural engagement, arts administration, and advocacy, she has traveled to nine countries and 24 states in support of her work. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Studies from The University of New Orleans, and studied art and history at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. Duplessis is the creator of Denver’s first accessible “I VOTED” sticker and co – creator of the noted Holding Hope mural located in RiNo Art District. She is also the 2023 recipient of Denver Mayor’s Award for Excellence in Arts and Culture in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Chloé has been featured in The Denver Post, 303 Magazine, The Independent and on Colorado Public Radio, CBS 4 News Denver, and NBC 9News Denver. She is the founder of Duplessis Art, an arts studio and consultancy based in Colorado.
