What possibilities and limits do institutions offer when critically considering race and place within the production of contemporary art? This coming October 16, the Institute of Contemporary Art of the University of Pennsylvania, in conjunction with Michelle Lopez: Ballast & Barricades, will be holding a talk that examines strategies used by Filipinx artists and curators to navigate questions of race and cultural production within the museum against the rise of authoritarianism in both the U.S. and the Philippines. In the talk, Michelle Lopez, one of the contributing artists towards MCAD’s Funding the Future project, joins fellow artists Josh Kline and MCAD Board Member, Paul Pfeiffer, to discuss the limits and possibilities of art, identity, and politics. The conversation is moderated by Joselina Cruz, Director and Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD) at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Manila. Read more here.
