Creativity & Cultures in the Borderlands: A Virtual Discussion
Join the Mellon Foundation’s virtual discussion on Creativity & Cultures in the Borderlands on Tuesday, October 22 at 4:00 p.m. (ET).
Though often contested in political debates around immigration and security, the Borderlands that transcend the boundaries of Mexico, sovereign indigenous nations, and the United States are also spaces of artistic invention, cultural renewal, and intermingled histories. What can we learn from new ideas and new approaches to the arts currently taking place in the region, and from the strength and stewardship of its many different cultures? In a year when both Mexico and the United States are holding presidential elections focused on the political border between the countries, how can we better understand and celebrate the intersection of the arts, culture, and social justice that lives among Borderlands communities?
Join Mellon Foundation President Elizabeth Alexander for a discussion with guests whose mission-driven work connects us to the Borderlands: Julián Castro, chief executive officer of the Latino Community Foundation; Dr. Patrisia Gonzales, emeritus associate professor, University of Arizona and advisor to the Indigenous Alliance Without Borders; and Cristina Ibarra, filmmaker & co-founding director of Borderlands Studios.
