ARTS @DRCLAS presents a Reception for "Guiñadas Gráciles: Looking Out for the Queer in Latin American Video Ar.t"

Tuesday, February 27th  •  5:30pm • CGIS South, Second Floor, 1730 Cambridge Street

Please join us for the exhibition reception of "Guiñadas Gráciles: Looking Out for the Queer in Latin American Video Art." The exhibition Curator, Joaquin S. Terrones (PhD '09) Lecturer in Literature and Women's and Gender Studies at MIT, will lead a walkthrough of the exhibition.
 
Guiñadas Gráciles responds to interest in the study of non-normative sexualities in the region, the experiences of its LGBTQ inhabitants, and its social movements focused on gender and sexuality. How does one put the spotlight on bodies that some consider should remain hidden, closeted away? As one of the first exhibitions on queer Latin American video art—if not the first— showcasing this exhibition on campus represents a unique opportunity for engagement with and by undergraduate and graduate students as part of their coursework and research. The exhibition features video works by Karen Harley (Brazil), Roberto Jacoby and Syd Krochmalny (Argentina), Carlos Leppe (Chile), Hélio Oiticica (Brazil), and Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa (Guatemala).
