Cultural Appropriation, Syncretism, and Authenticity, lecture by Professor Vilna Bashi
March 3 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeHarmonia Rosales has been accused of blasphemy and cultural appropriation. These accusations force an examination of a hierarchy of symbols and interpretations, allowing us to question which perspectives are considered normative or even superior when compared to others. What significance can we derive from critics’ ability to negatively evaluate the racial and gendered aspects of Rosales’ work yet are unwilling to do the same with works by the “old masters”?
The Art, Design & Architecture Museum is proud to present the third talk of its lecture series “Myth, Religion, and Race: the Art of Harmonia Rosales” by Vilna Bashi, the Osborn Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University.
