¡Adelante Siempre!: Recent Work by Southern California Chicana Photographers



The Riverside Art Museum (RAM) has invited Ann Marie Leimer to serve as guest curator for the exhibition titled ¡Adelante Siempre!: Recent Work by Southern California Chicana Photographers that opens September 11 and runs through November 6, 2010. The exhibition features the work of regional artists Laura Aguilar, Diane Arellano, and Jacalyn López García who locate photographic production and processes at the center of their aesthetic endeavors. The artists investigate issues ranging from the impact of social networking sites on the public imagination, to the relationship of the human form to nature, and to the performative social spaces of country line dancing within contemporary subcultures. Professor Leimer invites the university community to a preview reception on Friday, September 10, 2010, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the museum on 3425 Mission Inn Avenue in Riverside, California.

Leimer and the artists will be interviewed by Sikivu Hutchinson for the Women’s Collective program of WBAI, Pacifica Radio, 99.5 FM, New York City on Wednesday, September 8 at 8:30 a.m. PST. In conjunction with the exhibition, Professor Leimer will moderate a panel with the artists on Saturday, October 23 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. at RAM. Students and faculty are particularly welcome to attend the panel presentation, as well as the opening reception.
