Art + Activism in Latin America

Continue the exploration of Art + Activism inspired by the work of Andrea Bowers currently on view at the MCA, with an exploration of the overlaps between art and activism in the context of Latin America led by scholar Jennifer Ponce de Leon. The conversation convenes two artist collectives that consider activism, political art, and art’s power as a tool in advocacy. The collectives Frente 3 de Fevereiro and Iconoclasistas tackle social issues through different approaches empowered by civic engagement. The discussion challenges ways these relationships shift in different cultural contexts from Latin America to the US.

Art + Activism talks for the exhibition “Andrea Bowers” are organized by Curator January Parkos Arnall and Assistant Curator Gibran Villalobos, with Otez Gary, Curatorial Assistant.
