Symposium
This symposium, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement, considers how the politics of identity may or may not be seen as a phantom presence in contemporary art. The event includes two roundtable discussions with leading art historians, artists, and curators in the field, as well as a film screening of a collection of historical performances.
Artists and art historians--Roberto Tejada, Steven Nelson, Jennifer Gonzales, Reina Alejandra Prado, Ondine Chavoya, Ken Gonzales-Day, Mario Ybarra Jr., and Kianga Ford--consider whether the issue of identity politics maintains a phantom presence in contemporary art.
April 5, 10am-5:30pm, Bing Theatre
