"Visual Disobedience in Central America"
Kency Cornejo, Associate Professor of Chicana/o Studies and Central American Studies at UCLA.
Following a period of US-funded civil wars, torture, disappearance, and killings in Central America, artists began to develop new artistic strategies of Indigenous resistance and decolonial feminisms that center on the body, space, and new media. Through an overview of Central American artistic responses to racial, economic, and gender violence and the consequential mass migration and criminalization in the region, this lecture analyzes these acts as visual disobedience to nation-states and visual coloniality.
