didn't get a chance to go to the reception? There is still a chance to visit the Art of Protest:
Running Dates: January 25, 2010 − March 11, 2010


A TWO-PART EXHIBIT, “The Art of Protest” will feature historic prints from the College of Ethnic Studies Strikes of 1969 (Part I) and current student work of all media created in response to the budget and education crises threatening our campus (Part II). The gallery doors will open on January 25, 2010 with a display of archived silkscreen prints that convey the spirit of the times and serve as a reminder of the importance of creative expression. On February 11, 2010, from 5 to 8 p.m., a gallery reception and public forum will take place, at which time the silkscreens from the past will be replaced by the current student work. These new works of protest will acknowledge the victories of the past while keeping focus firmly on concerns of the present—lending a voice to the anger felt statewide.

Gallery Hours:
Monday – Friday:
10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
(or by appointment)

the art gallery is located on the Terrace Level of the Cesar Chavez Student Center

CHECK OUT T.V. REED'S NOVEL "THE ART OF PROTEST" AT THE ROMC RESOURCE LIBRARY & ARCHIVE RM T-143 (inside the computer lab)



Lisa Lowe, author of Immigrants Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics writes:
"This impressive study shows that culture matters to social movements, and that social movements affect cultural and aesthetic practices. From the transmission of southern spirituals into freedom songs during the civil rights era to political theater in antiracist struggles, from poetry as a site of feminist consciousness-raising to mural painting within the Chicano movement, from rock music and the 1980s anti-apartheid student movement to performance art in ACT UP, Reed vividly demonstrates that cultural work has been a vital medium for imagining and acting for social change."
