Love in the Age of Hate
In a presentation that is at once digital, cinematic, performative, and outrageous, William “Memo” Nericcio, a Californian professor born in the fabled “Streets of Laredo,” will treat The Ohio State University to a mixed-media, mass media experience focused on Latinas/os of all stripes, of all flavors in U.S. mass media today. As much as the lecture will focus on a horror show of atrocious stereotypes of demeaning attacks on Latinx bodies, both real and virtual, Nericcio's lecture will also revel in love (and rockets!), as the border-born professor turns his eye to remarkable feats of art, fiction, television, and more borne from the wickedly sassy imaginations of contemporary and past Latinx arts deities including Ana Mendieta, Myriam Gurba, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Salvador Plascencia and much much more.
Please RSVP via email to Irma Zamora.
