This is a a course to compliment the 2023 ArtCenter alumni exhibition "Identificar X." This class will provide historical and contemporary context and expand the ever-evolving and fraught Latin(x) identity discourse. Throughout the term, students will participate in challenging research, discussions, site visits, workshops, and collective on-campus installations to critically examine topics around the Latin American Diaspora, origins of colonial class and race, systems of power and oppression, politics, literature, mythologies, the study of cultural practices and signifiers, and the familial gaze. At the end of the term, research and new artworks created during the class will be presented in a student-led on-campus exhibition.
