SUMMARY:MexiCali Biennial: Then\, Now\, Next Mini-Symposium and LAB Closing event
DESCRIPTION:The MexiCali Biennial presents a miniature symposium dedicated to highlighting scholars’\, curators’\, and artists’ contributions to the retrospective catalog\, MexiCali Biennial: Art\, Actions\, Exchanges Since 2006. This symposium consists of two panels: the first explores the past\, present\, and future of the MexiCali Biennial and border art as a discipline; the second is a discussion on collaborations between border artists and curators within and outside of museums.  \nEach panel will address broader issues and key themes defining contemporary art in both Californias over the last few decades and into the future\, including portability\, site-specificity\, local–global and center–periphery dichotomies\, archives\, surveillance\, border activations\, writing border art histories\, and curatorial strategies for navigating the border. These conversations will examine the MexiCali Biennial’s indelible impact on U.S.–Mexico borderlands art\, as well as the curatorial challenges posed by exhibiting within the distinct contexts of the museum and the physical border itself.  \nThis event is organized in conjunction with the anniversary exhibition Here & There\, Then & Now that is currently on view at the MXCL BNL LAB. This program is made possible in part through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation and California Humanities\, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is final scheduled event at the MXCL BNL LAB (MexiCali Biennial Lab). \nPROGRAM SCHEDULE \n3:00pm OPENING REMARKS\nEd Gomez (MexiCali Biennial and CSU San Bernardino) \nPanel 1:\n3:15pm BORDER (RE)HISTORICIZATIONS\nModerator:\nArmando Pulido (Huntington Library) \nPanelists:\nRosalía Romero (Pomona College)\nAlejandro Espinoza (Universidad de Baja California\, Mexicali)\nAmy Sara Carroll (University of California\, San Diego)\nLuis G.
