This course is an exploration of Latin American art in the context of cultural, social and political experience, with emphasis on the work of the painter Frida Kahlo, the Mexican muralists, performance artists Guillermo Gomez-Pena and Coco Fusco, and other important contemporary artists who have represented identity, culture, and political experience as complex and multifaceted because they have lived between nations and cultures. (Offered in odd-numbered years.)
