in association with:
The Disappeared Collaborative Project

THE WORD "DISAPPEARED" was redefined during the military dictatorships that ruled many Latin American countries during the mid-twentieth century. "Disappear" became a transitive verb, describing members of the resistance and their sympathizers who were kidnapped, tortured, and killed by the military, especially in the latter decades of the twentieth century.
For three months beginning in October, the theme of the “disappeared” serves as a catalyst for an unprecedented regional partnership—The Disappeared Collaborative Project [DCP]—presenting exhibitions, films, lectures, readings, workshops, master classes, and panel discussions with artists whose lives have been profoundly affected by the political upheavals in Latin America over the last thirty years. Some worked in the resistance; some had parents or siblings who were disappeared; others were forced into exile. The youngest were born into the aftermath of those dictatorships. Still others have lived in countries paralyzed by endless civil war.
An extraordinary convergence of collaboration and commemoration, we invite you to join us for this community conversation encouraging a deeper study of the relationship between history, social policy, and art-making. Your membership in any of the collaborative organizations entitles you to members’ discounts for all exhibitions and events. We look forward to seeing you!
