Her films, rather than telling stories, pose a series of problems - and through their at times ambiguous nature, allow for a complicated reading of the questions being asked. She has exhibited internationally at venues including the Whitney Biennial, MoMA, the Pompidou, Hammer Museum and many international film festivals including Sundance, the Viennale, Ann Arbor and Rotterdam. She is the recipient of Fulbright and Guggenheim fellowships and she currently teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Stratman is an Artist in Residence at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston this spring and is a guest curator of theTex Hex: Pop Up Cinema event that will be held along the Buffalo Bayou at 1011 Wood St. in downtown Houston on May 21. The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houstoncultivates interdisciplinary collaboration in the performing, visual, and literary arts. From our base at the University of Houston, we offer public events, residencies, and courses that fuse artistic disciplines, ignite dialogue, and present new ways of experiencing the arts in contemporary life.
