Collectivity and Solidarity: Art Practices in Mexico and Beyond
This seminar offers a glimpse of some of the collective artistic practices in Mexico and other Latin American countries throughout the second half of the twentieth century that placed solidarity and empathy at their core, stressing art as both a productive and disruptive force within social crises. Distancing itself from male-led narratives that glorify heroic acts and violence as a cathartic element, the seminar surveys productions that stem from feminist militancy or are often discarded as crafts or “women’s work” that also dealt with the tense political climate of the Cold War era. Its purpose is to explore how a sense of belonging –and mostly belonging to “othered” demographies– informed and expanded the processes of bearing witness through art.
