ARCHIVES AND DIASPORA | MEMORY TRACED THROUGH ARTISTS IN EXPOSURE
Panelists | Aimé Iglesias Lukin (Americas Society), Agustín Díez Fischer (ESPIGAS), Iván Krassoievitch (Artist), Susana Wald (Artist)
This panel will explore the intersection of archives and diasporas, focusing partly on the research Iglesias Lukin conducted for This Must Be The Place: Latin American Artists in New York: 1965-1975, an exhibition and book born of her doctoral dissertation researching migrant artists in the city during the surge of the neo-avant gardes. In dialogue with Agustín Díez Fischer, director of the archive Fundación ESPIGAS, and artists Iván Krassoievitch and Susana Wald, the panel will explore how the migrant experience informs their life and practice, and how archives constitute a tool to keep a memory away from home. This panel is presented in partnership with Terremoto and will be followed by a book signing of This Must Be The Place.
1:30–2:00pm

SCREENING OF BRENDAN FERNANDES: FREE FALL, FOR CAMERA (2019)

FREE FALL, FOR CAMERA | POST-SCREENING CONVERSATION
Join artist Brendan Fernandes after the screening of his film Free Fall, for Camera (2019), a continuation of his performance series Free Fall 49 with writer and critic Aruna D’Souza. Fernandes and D’Souza will discuss how the multimedia dance and video installation explores the falling body as a metaphor for queer politics, while also exploring how the performance and film aims to reclaim dance as an agent for freedom, protest and agency in the wake of the devastating attack on the PULSE nightclub in Orlando, FL 2016. The two will also discuss about Fernandes’s new work in/visible commissioned for the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway that examines the relationship between visibility and invisibility, as a common experience of marginalized groups. This panel is in partnership with Soho House Chicago.
