Upcoming Lectures
Enrique Chagoya Lecture
October 20, 20116:30 pm
at Film Row Cinema
Drawing from his experiences living on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border in the late 70’s, and also in Europe in the late 90’s, Enrique Chagoya juxtaposes secular, popular, and religious symbols in order to address the ongoing cultural clash between the United States, Latin America and the world. He uses familiar pop icons to create deceptively friendly points of entry for the discussion of complex issues. Through these seemingly harmless characters, Chagoya examines the recurring subject of colonialism and oppression that continues to riddle contemporary American foreign policy. This lecture is co-sponsored with Columbia College's Art + Design Department and Northwestern University. Columbia College's Film Row Cinema is located at 1104 S. Wabash on the 8th floor.
