Shotgun Wedding
Nations Bodies Violence Art

Running Dates: August 31 − September 30, 2010

Opening Reception: Tuesday, August 31 | 6:00 p.m. − 9 p.m.

Colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy have forced the world’s peoples into often violent, invariably awkward, and sometimes creative cohabitation. The 2010 bicentennial of Mexican independence and centennial of the Mexican Revolution provide an opportune moment to reflect on such contradictory historical experiences through an art exhibition and panel discussion that cross borders, genders, disciplines, and media.

Panel Discussion: Tuesday, August 31 | 6 p.m. − 7:30 p.m.

Featuring Leticia Armijo, composer, historian, and researcher from the Autonomous University of Mexico and Director General of ComuArte Internacional; Clayton Dumont, Professor of Sociology, SFSU; Carla Lucero, composer and Director of Tenth Muse Presents and ComuArte/USA; Ed McCaughan, Chair, Sociology Department, SFSU; Carmen Cecilia Piñero Gil, ethnomusicologist and Director of the Spanish Division of ComuArte; Professor of North American Literature at the Autonomous University of Madrid; and Clare Sears, Assistant Professor of Sociology, SFSU.

CURATORS: Ed McCaughan and Vince Skelly
