Beatriz Santiago Muñoz Lecture

Munoz Poster_Final 10-1-13 jpg

Those pesky English Department folk are at it again:

Beatriz Santiago Muñoz is an artist and filmmaker living and working in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In this presentation, Santiago Muñoz will screen and discuss recent and current work and its focus on the relationship between landscape, history, and ideology.

Santiago Muñoz’s films arise out of long periods of research, observation, and documentation, in which the camera is present as an object with social implications and as an instrument mediating aesthetic thought. Her work focuses on specific social structures or events which she transforms into collaborative performances and moving image.
