My Body is an Altar

Emerson College’s Public Art Think Tank (PATT), the college’s initiative for public art on campus, is proud to present Mexican-American performance artist Emilio Rojas as their Fall 2022 artist-in-residence! PATT supports art experiences that involve audiences in discourse about important and timely issues such as those related to social justice.
The residency is organized in conjunction with the multi-media exhibition Tracing A Wound Through my Body showcased at multiple locations across the College campus and on view until November 6, 2022. PATT is supporting a one-week residency which includes class visits, a performance art workshop, exhibition catalog release reception, and culminating in a public panel discussion, “Border Pedagogies, Queer Kinships, and Archival Resonances: Tania Bruguera and Emlio Rojas in Conversation,” on November 5, 2022. A reception, held at Emerson Contemporary’s Media Art Gallery, will follow the panel. 
 
In addition to all of this, Emilio is very excited to offer residents an opportunity to participate in a 2-hour workshop, titled My Body is an Altar with him on Friday, November 4th from 3:30 – 5:30 PM in the SPC Blackbox! Please click here to sign-up and secure your spot as there will be 30 participants max for this workshop.
