TO THE EDITOR:
This Friday, Nov. 12, there will be an opportunity to learn about how art is used to bring attention to human rights abuses.
Edith Lopez Ovalle is an artist and co-founder of Hijos por la Identidad y la Justicia contra el Olvido y el Silencio (HIJOS), a human rights organization made up mostly of the children of political prisoners and activists who were killed or “disappeared” in Latin America in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s.
On Friday at 5 p.m. in Gardner 309, speaker Edith Lopez Ovalle will be joined by a representative from the Mexico Solidarity Network to discuss the historical and present-day context of the imprisonment, disappearance and assassination of political dissidents in Mexico and the role of artistic and cultural interventions in confronting human rights abuses.
