SUMMARY:WORKSHOP: THE POLITICS OF COLLAGE
DESCRIPTION:WITH ARTIST JOSHUA RIOS\nThe Politics of Collage is a hands-on workshop with artist-in-residence Joshua Rios. This creative workshop offers participants an opportunity to create mixed-media collages related to land politics and postcolonial science fiction. \nRios will first give a short presentation on Stranger in a Strange Land\, a 1976 sci-fi rock opera created and produced by Chicanx high school students in Crystal City\, Texas. Working under the direction of playwright Gregg Barrios\, and influenced by the music of David Bowie\, the students’ play addressed a wide variety of topics\, including CIA mind control\, alien contact\, political assassination\, and the post-apocalyptic landscape. \nFollowing the presentation\, participants will be invited to create an assortment of collages related to the students’ theatrical production. Specifically\, we will make work in the form of futuristic landscapes and sci-fi costume design. \nAll ages are welcome\, no art skills required. All materials will be supplied\, including light refreshments. \n_________________________________________________________ \nJoshua Rios is faculty at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where he teaches courses in visual critical studies and research-based practice. As a media artist\, writer\, and educator his projects deal with the histories\, archives\, and futurities of Latinx subjectivity and US/Mexico relations as understood through globalization and neocolonialism. Recent projects and presentations have been featured at The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (Omaha)\, the Blue Star Contemporary (San Antonio)\, Konsthall C (Stockholm)\, Tufts University Art Galleries (Boston)\, and the Mountain Standard Time Performative Art Biennial (Calgary\, Canada). Upcoming public activities include the Truth and Reconciliation Residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute (Santa Fe)\, and a public art project through The Luminary (St. Louis). \nThe Politics of Collage is presented in conjunction with the curatorial project Collective Presence\, on view at DiverseWorks through April 14\, 2019
