DESCRIPTION:The Arts at CIIS and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Colonia Libertad 
 invite you to become a FREE CITIZEN\n\n* Friday, June 23rd, 6:00-8:00PM 
 *\nDesai | Matta Gallery at CIIS\n1453 Mission Street, SF, CA 94103\n\nKick 
 off PRIDE Weekend with artists OMAR PIMIENTA and LUIS HERNANDEZ and an 
 evening of food, performance, and citizenship at the Desai | Matta Gallery 
 at CIIS.\n\nBring your passport, (it can be expired!) and apply for 
 CiudadaniaLIBRE (Free Citizenship). Your passport will become part of the 
 artist's archive, a portion of which is on view in the current exhibition, 
 "Desde el otro lado." In exchange you'll receive a new passport indicating 
 your free citizenship!\n\nOr talk with artist Luis Hernandez about borders, 
 boundaries, and walls. Luis' "el otro lado" is the centerpiece of "Desde el 
 otro lado", poetically pointing to walls' dual nature to both keep in and 
 keep out. On June 23rd Hernandez will extend the wall to performatively 
 engage viewers in an exploration of the impact that the wall between Mexico 
 and the U.S. has on neighbors.\n\nThe geographic boundary between the 
 United States and Mexico looms large in our political discourse and 
 collective imagination. It's an international border that is a highly 
 charged fulcrum of economic inequality, representing both possibility and 
 danger. The eight artists in "Desde el otro lado | Land and People Divided" 
 explore the intersecting and sometimes contradictory realities that define 
 the border region. With the impulse to build walls keeping pace with 
 growing international inequality, these artists deconstruct the fortress 
 impulse and suggest the doorways, real and imagined, that connect habitat 
 and humans.\n\nFree\n
