[Brazil@Harvard] ANA MARIA TAVARES at Harvard

The Latin American and Latino Art Forum at The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, Harvard University Invites you to its upcoming speaker series event ANA MARIA TAVARES Artist on their art November 20, 6pm: CGIS Building, 1730 Cambridge Street. Room: S-153 Renowned for her site-specific installations in which the blending of written word and architectural elements are used for the critical interrogation of public spaces, Ana Maria Tavares will discuss her latest projects with fellow Brazilian and DRCLAS Visiting Scholar Dr. Claudia Calirman. In collaboration with the MIT Office for the Arts Programmed by the Art Forum’s Curator and divided into two thematic sub-series, Art Lab and Artists on their Art, the talks last usually one and a half hours, are conducted in English (unless noticed otherwise) and follow the same format: an invited main speaker and a panel of commentators—usually composed by members of the Harvard or the Greater Boston community. Co-sponsored with the Cultural Agents Initiative, the Art Lab series are opportunities for artists and academics to gather and explore together the relevance of the slippery but productive relationship between arts and society which has shaped decisively, much of the artistic practice in Latin America since its formation. While our Artists on their Art series are opportunities for contemporary artists to present their work and engage in a critical analysis and discussion of its relevance in an academic forum. All talks are recorded and later available on our website as podcasts.
