Guillermo Gómez-Peña Lecture at AMoCA
Multiple Journeys: the life and work of Gómez-Peña is a unique lecture that invokes text and historical photographs to chronicle the binational art practice of post-Mexican writer, artist and activist Guillermo Gómez-Peña. By tracing his family life as well as his first 40 years in performance, visual and literary forms, the artist discusses his work in context to the larger evolution of the field as well as to the main political and social events of our times.
Guillermo Gómez-Peña will present a multimedia lecture on the history of Border Art from his very own perspective. This presentation has been lovingly prepared with the Roswell audience in mind. Gómez-Peña and his wife Balitronica are currently guests artists at The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program during the month of May.
Gómez-Peña is a performance artist, writer, activist, radical pedagogue and artistic director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra. Born in Mexico City, he moved to the US in 1978, and since 1995, his three homes have been San Francisco, Mexico City and the "road".
