Opening Celebrations of Arts of Resistance: Politics and the Past in Latin America
Thursday May 17, 2018 | 7 – 10 pm
Celebrate the opening of MOA’s newest exhibition, Arts of Resistance: Politics and the Past in Latin America, with a remarkable evening exploring the political and social significance of artistic traditions in Latin American culture and folkloric arts.
Opening remarks | 7:15 pm
Free admission | 6 pm
Guests will be introduced to the exhibition by its curator, Laura Osorio Sunnucks. Tour the exhibition, which not only features works from MOA’s impressive Latin American collection, but also includes newly purchased and commissioned works, sourced from Laura’s personal research in rural towns in Mayan–speaking Mexico and Guatemala.
This provocative exhibition features two multi-sensory installations, including a mural painted on site by a women’s art collective from the Amazonian Shipibo-Konibo diaspora in Lima, Peru. Olinda Silvano and Silvia Ricopa, who are both members of this collective, will sing live for visitors at the opening. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet and hear live music by John Gonzalez, a Colombian-Canadian accordion player who specializes in Latin Music, Eric Ramirez who plays the congas, KeAloha Neoelani on drums and Yoendrys on trombone.
