XXVI THE STATE OF IBEROAMERICAN STUDIES SERIES & HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVE PROJECT SYMPOSIUM
This 28-year-old project weaves a crosshatched path in multiple directions between performance art, theater, civil war narratives, cultural studies, human rights, and all manners of political activism across the globe. Struck by the Jewish Holocaust, other genocides and wars in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and by how visually rich those conflicts are, this project developed a methodology to record artistic and intellectual reactions to those human debacles and fractured memories, turning them into non-ephemeral resistance images, increasing the possibilities of an artistic language, and providing a fuller expression and understanding of complex Human Rights violations.
