The panel discussion “Come Together, Interethnic collaborations for equity and social change in the 1970s,” will be presented at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8 at the UCSB Multicultural Center, in the MCC Lounge, Santa Barbara.
This panel discussion is presented as part of the exhibit of the same title featuring selected 1970s vintage posters by San Francisco Bay Area activist artists who represent a spirit of cultural diversity, social equity/social change, and international human rights from various perspectives, the center reported in a media release. Revealed in the imagery are significant interethnic collaborations in which shared interests of African American, Asian American, Chicano/Latino, and Native American communities are united within individual posters.
Artists Juan Fuentes and Nancy Hom, featured in this exhibit, will present their past and current work with communities of color. The posters are drawn from major graphic art collections housed in the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives (CEMA) in the UCSB Library.
You can view the exhibit at the College of Creative Studies Gallery through March 4, from noon to 5 p.m. Co-sponsored by CEMA and the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department. For more information, call 805.893.7609 or visit http://mcc.sa.ucsb.edu/
