Race, Arts and Democracy

The ASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy is launching a new program series titled "Race, Arts and Democracy." In this Zoom conversation CSRD Director Lois Brown will introduce the new series and our inaugural Race, Arts and Democracy Fellow, Carolina Aranibar-Fernandez. 

Carolina is a Bolivian artist based in the United States. Her practice combines traditional processes including ancient weaving techniques and ceramics with multimedia and video installations. Her recent work is largely concerned with global dynamics of power, invisible labor and the connection to legacies of colonialism. She has worked in the U.S., Qatar, Brazil and Bolivia. Carolina will be introducing the scope of engagements for 2020-2021, which will explore questions of race, power, and democracy.

“In my work I question systems of power that have been constructed to benefit some while purposefully marginalizing others.”

Moderator: Lois Brown, PhD, Director, Center for the Study of Race and Democracy
