On Friday, October 27th, at 4:00pm at the upcoming IFPDA Print Fair at the Javits Center, New York, NY, the public talk Colonialism is the Real AIDS: Artist and Activist Juan Sánchez in Conversation with Deborah Cullen - Moderated by Jennifer Farrell will take place.
Juan Sánchez is an influential American visual artist and activist, and one of the most important Nuyorican cultural figures in recent decades with work in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), El Museo del Barrio and more. Over 50 years, he has produced an extensive body of prints (with Tamarind Institute, Wildwood Press, and the Robert Blackburn Workshop) that consistently address issues that are as relevant now as they were in the 1980s—race and class, cultural identity, equality, social justice, and self-determination.
Deborah Cullen is Program Officer for Arts and Culture at the Mellon Foundation. Prior to her current position, she was the Executive Director of the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Director and Chief Curator of the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University, Director of Curatorial programs at El Museo del Barrio, and Curator of the print collection at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop.
Jennifer Farrell is curator for modern and contemporary prints, illustrated books, and artists' books at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
