Description
In this audiovisual recording from Wednesday, March 30, 2005, as part of the 36th Annual UND Writers Conference: “Hope/Illusion,” Carolyn Forché, Jane Urquhart, Luis Camnitzer, and Virginia Martinez participate in a panel called “The Politics of Illusion.” The panel begins with a discussion of how politics enter writing with or without intention and how art enters the political sphere. Forché explains how she was shaped by experience with other political writers and her human rights work in El Salvador. The panelists also discuss the political and activist responsibility of the artist and the empowering vision that the artist should pursue, as well as the repercussions of subversive political art.
Moderated by Laurel Reuter, Founding Director of the North Dakota Museum of Art.
