ABOUT THE SALON

Tania Bruguera, installation artist and Armory Artist-in-Residence best known for challenging institutions and power structures with her socially-engaged art projects, invites us to engage with the concept of “Museum as Sanctuary.”

MAKE SANCTUARY NOT ART 3:00pm veterans room

The Salon begins with an introduction by Tania Bruguera, followed by a gathering, Make Sanctuary Not Art, featuring a sanctuary training and rite led by Luba Cortés (Make the Road New York), Abou Farman (Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, The New School), Geoff Trenchard (New Sanctuary Coalition), and Jackie Vimo (The National Immigration Law Center). The training offers key strategies for fostering and maintaining safe art spaces (even sanctuary neighborhoods) for all people, especially people with precarious immigration status.

INSTITUTIONS AS SANCTUARY IN TIMES OF EXCLUSION 5:30pm veterans room

The Salon concludes with a conversation, Institutions as Sanctuary in times of Exclusion, moderated by Tania Bruguera, with Alexandra Délano Alonso (Chair of Global Studies, The New School), Camilo Godoy (Visual Artist), Sonia Guiñansaca (Poet, Activist, Managing Director of CultureStrike), Bitta Mostofi (Commissioner, The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs), and Verónica Ramírez (Women in Motion).

The central part of this Salon incorporates artists directly impacted by immigration and uplifts art that shows the complexity and layered experience of being migrant.

Throughout the afternoon, the pop up exhibition You See Me?!? will be on display. Curated by Sonia Guiñansaca and CultureStrike, the exhibit highlights the art work of undocu-artists Julio Salgado and Emulsify. The video installation Con Cámaras Y Sín Papeles, an archive of a decade of undocumented films spanning from 2007 to 2018, will also be on shown.
