ARTH 4394 Art & Urban Society Latino America [R. Tejada]: 10:00-01:00 M 106-FA
"The course examines visual art produced between 1965-2010 in the urban centers of
São Paulo, Mexico City, and Los Angeles, connecting subjects, locations, and episodes
in the contemporary visual cultures of Brazil, Mexico, and Latino USA. With an approach
that links practices, urban narratives, and situations of exchange, this open history
of Latino American art makes dynamic comparisons by joining abrupt storylines to provoke
a broader and deeper understanding of the American hemisphere’s image environment.
Topics include: contemporary Brazilian photographers who blur the boundaries between
documentary, photo¬journal¬ism, and art photography; Mexico City artistic practices
and public cultures of the 1980s and 1990s in view of neoliberalism; as well as the
1960s-1970s civil rights movement, countercultures and art forms in the urban geography
of Los Angeles."
