Depicting the difficult: a project generator for writers and artists
This project generator is open to writers, visual artists, filmmakers, performance artists, and musicians working on projects about visceral social and political issues, especially those related to violence. The goal of the workshop is to gather together writers and artists to share their current projects and to catalyze future multi-modal, collaborative, politically-engaged projects in Lexington.
Diane Kahlo, creator of Wall of Memories: The Disappeared Senoritas of Ciudad Juárez, will speak about her process of researching and depicting the women killed in Juárez, as well as her theoretical approach to feminicide and the socio-political issues along the U.S.-Mexican border.
Set in the midst of Kahlo’s powerful Wall of Memories exhibit, the project generator will be held on Thursday, October 20 from 6:30-8:00 P.M. in the Tuska Center for Contemporary Art at the University of Kentucky. Kahlo’s Wall of Memories: The Disappeared Senoritas of Ciudad Juárez will be showing until November 4, 2011.
The event is free and open to the public. Pre-register by emailing b.connors-manke@uky.edu.
