Conveners: Eva-Lynn Jagoe, Gina Beltran and Julieta María
This work group will examine how art and performance politically charge public spaces to make manifest and open to view the unspeakable, hidden, and unseen. Focusing on the concepts of violence, memory, and trauma, the group will discuss how artwork and performance become points of intersection where the spectator confronts the experience of the other. Considering the silence, disintegration of language, and the precariousness of thought and critical tools that surround terror and traumatic experience, the aim is to explore the way in which artistic practices name, make visible, and give form and meaning to violent experience.
