The Hispanic Studies Antonio Márquez Series presents “A multidisciplinary practice: The work of María Magdalena Campos Pons,” a conversation with the artist on October 9, 2014. The event, hosted by the Department of Hispanic Studies, will take place from 5:00 to 7:00pm at Taylor Hall 102, Vassar College (located at 124 Raymond Avenue, Poughkeepsie, New York).

María Magdalena Campos Pons is a Cuban-born artist based in Boston whose works have focused on history, race, gender, memory, and the formation of identity. Her photography, performance, audiovisual media, and sculpture speak to the fragmented narratives of the oceanic routes of the slave trade, the 18th century Cuban sugar plantations, and story of Latinidad in the U.S. Campos Pons has been featured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the Venice Biennale; the Johannesburg Biennial; the first Liverpool Biennial; the Dakar Biennale in Senegal; and the Guangzhou Triennial in China.
