SANTA BARBARA — The UCSB Multicultural Center’s “Resilient Love in a Time of Hate Series” will present the “Winter Art Exhibit: The Radical Imagination” continuing through March 17 at the UCSB Multicultural Center, MCC Theatre, UCSB.
Favianna Rodriguez’s art and collaborative projects address migration, economic inequality, gender justice, and ecology. She aims to critique and reinterpret the larger discursive immigration narratives that are shaping people’s lives around the globe, but especially here in the United States. Her practice serves as a tool for education, agitation, and social critique. Favianna has self-identified as queer and Latina with Afro-Peruvian roots. Rodriguez began as a political poster designer in the 1990s in the struggle for racial justice in Oakland, California.
SPECIAL LECTURE: Favianna’s lecture will be an opportunity for the UCSB community to interact with her on current social issues and how art can inform our Radical Imagination on Tue, Jan 24 at 6 pm in the MCC Theater.
