Too large to be contained in one space, The Disappeared will fill not only the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts, but also the Centennial Museum, and the Union Gallery. Curated by Laurel Reuter of the North Dakota Museum of Art, this exhibit "brings
together the work of thirteen artists and one artists’ collective from
Latin America who have lived through the horrors of the military dictatorships
that disrupted life in their countries in the latter years of the twentieth
century. Many civilians were ‘disappeared’ by these governments. The exhibition showcases artwork that addresses the political and social
turmoil in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Guatemala, Uruguay, and
Venezuela and in doing so speaks to violence and repression of all kinds." There are other concurrent shows and films being presented in conjunction with this exhibition, both in El Paso and across the border, and you can get all the details here.
