This Saturday, join CSRC director Chon Noriega, artist Laura Aguilar, exhibition curator and art historian Sybil Venegas, and contributing scholar Amelia Jones for an in-depth discussion about the exhibit Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell.

Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell
 is the first comprehensive retrospective of photographer Laura Aguilar, assembling more than one hundred thirty works produced over three decades. Through photographs and videos that are frequently political as well as personal, and which traverse performative, feminist, and queer art genres, Aguilar offers candid portrayals of herself, her friends and family, and LGBT and Latinx communities. Aguilar’s now iconic triptych, Three Eagles Flying (1990), set the stage for her future work by using her nude body as an overt and courageous rebellion against the colonization of Latinx identities — racial, gendered, cultural and sexual. Her practice intuitively evolved over time as she struggled to negotiate and navigate her ethnicity and sexuality, her challenges with depression and auditory dyslexia, and the acceptance of her large body. This exhibition tells the story of the artist who for most of her life struggled to communicate with words yet ironically emerged as a powerful voice for numerous and diverse marginalized groups.Laura Aguilar: Show and Tell is on view through February 10, 2018.

The CSRC is a cosponsor of this event.
