DESCRIPTION:SOMArts Cultural Center presents Mourning and Scars: 20 Years After the 
 War, a group exhibition February 1 through 28, 2013, curated by 2012–2013 
 SOMArts’ Commons Curatorial Residency recipient Roxana Leiva. Works of 
 art in a variety of media, including paintings, video, textile sculpture 
 and large-scale multimedia installations, explore the individual 
 experiences of reconstruction and healing in the context of El Salvador’s 
 postwar period.\n\nThirteen Salvadoran artists artists now living in 
 California and New York draw upon their various experiences and family 
 histories to create poignant works that grapple with the trauma of 
 persecution and exile, and reveal complex personal and bi-national 
 identities.\n\nFor the opening reception, exhibiting artist Leticia 
 Hernández-Linares performs audience-interactive music and spoken word, 
 including an original song, “Hijas del Volcán,” or “Daughters of the 
 Volcano,” inspired by Prudencia Ayala, who was in 1930 the first woman in 
 history to seek presidential nomination in El Salvador. Ayala’s candidacy 
 was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of El Salvador. During her 
 performance the audience uses a Polaroid camera to populate a visual 
 history of Hernández-Linares for a photo album within her installation, 
 “Papeleo.”\n\nFor more information visit:
