Talking to Action: Art, Pedagogy, and Activism in the Americas
Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design is pleased to present Talking to Action: Art, Pedagogy, and Activism in the Americas, an exhibition and bilingual publication that investigates contemporary, community based social art practices in the Americas. Talking to Action is part of the Getty鈥檚 initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles.
Talking to Action features drawings, archival materials, sculpture, installation, video, and film that blur the lines between object making, political and environmental activism, community organizing, and performance art, created by contemporary artists and collectives from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and the US. Mirroring the educational imperative found in many of the artists鈥� practices, and Otis College鈥檚 commitment to Social Practice, Talking to Action leans on the history of critical, dialogically-driven pedagogies from Latin America such as those greatly informed by Paulo Freire and other important thinkers whose collective efforts were influential to generations of artists, teachers, and activists throughout the hemisphere.
