DESCRIPTION:Despite the recent court decisions, the political battle over immigration 
 has been reduced by some to a political dog whistle. Historically, the 
 story of New Deal art, its initial advocates and its artists, informs us 
 with a deeper understanding of immigration, labor struggles and progressive 
 values. \n\nJournalist Anita Brenner’s life, in particular, flies in the 
 face of the current media hype about Mexico. Born in Mexico, and schooled 
 in the U.S. and Mexico, her working adult life was split between north and 
 south of the border. She was intrinsically both Mexican and “American” 
 and strove to bridge the political and cultural gap between those on each 
 side of the Rio Grande.\n \nShe influenced George Biddle, who in turn 
 influenced Franklin D. Roosevelt to develop a New Deal program for artists. 
 Brenner’s interests included organized labor and the anti-fascist 
 struggle in Spain. In her art criticism Brenner championed Mexican artists 
 and New Deal art programs.\n\nFor more information about the event call
