DESCRIPTION:In the face of violence, what is our responsibility? Join us for a 
 roundtable discussion with award-winning journalist, author, and performer 
 Rubén Martínez and performer, writer, and cultural organizer Raquel 
 Gutiérrez as they share their work and thoughts about the role of the 
 artist in addressing the violence plaguing Mexico and the U.S. and the 
 impact felt on both sides of the border.\n\nThis event is held in 
 conjunction with Intersection’s current exhibition Evidence: Artistic 
 Responses to the Drug Cartel Wars on view through August 31, 2013 in the 
 gallery.\n\nRubén Martínez is an award-winning journalist, author and 
 performer. His interests vary widely; among the topics he examines in his 
 courses are mixed-genre writing, post-colonial literatures and disapora, 
 and the peculiar particulars of Los Angeles (his hometown) and the American 
 West.\n\nHis essays, opinions and reportage have appeared in such 
 publications as the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, 
 Salon, Village Voice, The Nation, Spin, Sojourners, and Mother Jones. He is 
 the recipient of a Lannan Foundation Fellowship in Non Fiction, a Loeb 
 Fellowship from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, a Freedom 
 of Information Award from the ACLU, a Greater Press Club of Los Angeles 
 Award of Excellence, and an Emmy Award for hosting PBS-affiliate 
 KCET-TV’s Life & Times.\n\nRaquel Gutiérrez is a performer, writer, 
 actor, curator, playwright, and cultural organizer; writes on queerness, 
 music, film, performance and community building and creates original solo 
 and ensemble performance compositions. Raquel earned her MA in Performance 
 Studies from New York University in 2004. She is an expert in creating 
 artist-community partnerships for a range of institutional and 
 community-based organizations.\n\nRaquel is a co-founding member of the 
 performance ensemble, Butchlalis de Panochtitlan (BdP), a community-based 
 and activist-minded group aimed at creating a visual vernacular around 
 queer Latinidad in Los Angeles. Raquel also co-founded other queer women of 
 color projects and Los Angeles-specific art projects: Tongues, A Project of 
 VIVA and Epicentro Poetry project. Raquel has published work, most recently 
 in Ambientes: New Queer Latino Writing (edited by Lázaro Lima and Felice 
 Picano) and the upcoming edition of The Portland Review. Currently, Raquel 
 is working on a few essays about her favorite performance and visual 
 artists and the state of art and community-building as well as a 
 novel.\n\nThis event is free, RSVP at
