Arterial Languages
Location: Eastwing, Building 944 Ticket Info: FREE Admission Forging personal identities gives rise to a voice that transcends typical geographic and linguistic barriers. At an early age we draw from our parentage and upbringing to form specific realities that determine who we are to become. Informed by her Bolivian heritage, Donna Huanca’s (AIR ‘08) performances and installations address oppression and revolution, while Bushra Rehman’s (AIR ‘08) writing and poetry speaks to growing up in an immigrant American Muslim community. Their work challenges cultural prejudices and questions issues of religion, sexuality, race and independence, originating from the primary perspectives of their homelands.
