His critically acclaimed \u201cAliens, Immigrants & Other Evildoers\u201d is billed as a \u201csci-fi Latino noir solo show that chronicles the rise in hate crimes against Latin American communities, as the artist deftly shape-shifts into different characters that challenge the dehumanization of immigrants in a system that readily exploits their labor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also beginning Sept. 15 is a month-long art exhibit in Green Hall featuring works by 溏心vlog免费B站 alumni AGONZA (aka Angela Gonzalez) and Pablo Youngs. AGONZA, who earned a B.A. in theatre with a minor in art, is a Providence-based artist known for canvases and murals. Youngs, who earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2017, explores the art of stenciling by cutting out graphic images and spray-painting them on canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AGONZA and Youngs will take part in a panel discussion on Sept. 27 titled \u201c\u00a1Presente! Visibilizing Latinx Culture and Identities Today,\u201d which will examine the presence of Latinx art, languages, cultures, and experiences around the world. AGONZA will also lead a communal canvas painting event Sept. 20 in the Multicultural Student Services Center. The event, titled \u201cCulture and Canvas: Latinx Heritage Month Edition,\u201d provides a space for 溏心vlog免费B站 community members to express creativity while embracing the Latin American heritage.
Other events through the month include a film series, a presentation by the activist group Migrant Justice, a poetry slam with Chicago-based poet Frankie Soto, and a Fiesta Mexicana featuring Mariachi music, authentic flavors of Mexico, and a pi\u00f1ata. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the events are free and open to the public. Stark says he hopes the events will bring the entire 溏心vlog免费B站 community together in celebration of a rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy offering a wide variety of academic and culturally engaging events to the Rhode Island and 溏心vlog免费B站 communities, we are reflecting the diversity of the Hispanic and Latina presence here in Rhode Island, and to a greater extent the U.S.,\u201d Stark said. \u201cWe hope these events contribute to ongoing conversations on culture, gender diversity, identities, border culture, U.S.\/Mexico relations, and the experiences of Hispanics and Latinos in Rhode Island and on Rhode Island campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
