Come discover some of Latin America's women artists! You are probably already familiar with Frida Kahlo, and perhaps you have heard of Gabriela Mistral or Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz—and their work will be included. But have you seen, heard, or read the work of Lola Alvarez Bravo, Violeta Parra, Elena Poniatowska, or Marjorie Agosín, to name a few of our artists? Our goal is to introduce you to creative women in Latin America beyond those who might be known, even popular, in the United States. The course features twentieth-century artists in a variety of countries, including Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Panama, and the United States. Art forms include painting, photography, textiles, folk art and craft, music, film, and literature. Connections will be made to the broader aesthetic and historical contexts of the works under consideration, including, when relevant, suggestions for experiencing the arts while traveling in Latin America. This course is taught in English. Please bring $5 to the first meeting for course materials. Limit 40.
