Graduate Advisory Board hosts Cole Rizki (UVA): "Choreographies of Survival, Art of Repair"

 

Cole Rizki, Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia, will present a talk titled "Choreographies of Survival, Art of Repair." This talk will draw on Professor Rizki's ethnographic work with travesti and trans survivors of dictatorship focused on their negotiations with the police camera (mug shots) and surveillance, as well as photographic analysis of a recent exhibition by photographer Germán Menna that includes trans portraiture. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, the CLALS Graduate Advisory Board, and GSWS/FQT.
