Join LACSI, Sociology and the Willson Center for the opening event of an exhibition at the Georgia Museum of Art on Sunday, April 26, at 3pm.

In collaboration with Alexis Gorby from the GA Museum of Art, together with Dr. Pablo Lapegna's students in Environmental Justice in Latin America and the Caribbean (SOCI/LACS 4211/6211), this exhibition has been curated and organized showcasing prints from the Taller de Grafica Popular (TGP), selecting works that focused on resource extraction and the people behind it. The TGP was a Mexican artist collective that used art to promote social justice in Mexico in the 1940s and 50s. These works expose the colonial legacies and environmental impacts of resource extraction, while celebrating the dignity and power of laborers. 

There will be food and refreshments from Bar Bruno, music, and a celebration of the work the students put into this (they wrote a research paper that they condensed into the 100-word labels that will accompany each print).

The exhibit will be at the Museum until September 4th, in case you cannot make it that day. Read more about this project in an article by Nabiha Rahman
