On next Wednesday (11/10) at 4pm, Ricardo Dominguez will be giving a lecture entitled “Digital Zapatismo: From Electronic Civil Disobedience to the Transborder Immigrant Tool.” Ricardo Dominguez is an Associate Professor of Visual Arts at UC San Diego and a co-founder of The Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT), a group that developed Virtual-Sit-In technologies in 1998 in solidarity with the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. His recent Electronic Disturbance Theater project with Brett Stabaum, Micha Cardenas, and Amy Sara Carroll is the Transborder Immigrant Tool, a GPS cellphone safety net tool for crossing the Mexico/U.S border.
On Thursday (11/11) at 3:30pm, there will be a panel presentation entitled “The Art of Remembering: Artistic Landscapes of Public Memory” which will feature sculptor/artist Alison Saar as well as local poet Kaia Sand.
Both of these events will be held on the Lewis & Clark College campus. If you would like more information on these and other symposium events and a map of our campus, please visit http://go.lclark.edu/warrensymp .
