"Location/Translation: Art and Engagement from the Local to the Global" is scheduled to coincide with the opening of the exhibit "Six Lines of Flight" at SFMOMA. A panel of curators, artists, and scholars will discuss how regional circumstances get articulated within international art contexts -- and how "global" conversations can redefine what we think of as "local" production.

This event will also serve to welcome to the Berkeley campus Apsara DiQuinzio, who in October begins her new position as Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and Phyllis C. Wattis MATRIX Curator at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

This event kicks off "Time Zones," a yearlong series of events sponsored by the Arts Research Center exploring time-based and socially engaged art practices in an international context.

Open to audience: All Audiences
