- Global Africa: Alfredo Jaar
- Description
- Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar considers art's limitations to represent genocide, conflict, epidemics and famine. His artwork addresses the holocaust in Rwanda, toxic pollution in Nigeria, the disparity of the oil economy and extreme poverty in Angola, gold mining in Brazil and issues related to the border between the U.S. and Mexico. A conversation between Jaar and leading film scholar Manthia Diawara (New York University) follows. (Recorded 09-09-2010) Supported by Smithsonian Latino Center
