Inspired by the Getty Research Institute exhibition Alfredo Boulton: Looking at Venezuela (1928–1978), this screening of the award-winning Venezuelan documentary Araya (dir. Margot Benacerraf, 1959, 90 minutes) shares a compelling and poetic depiction of the harsh living conditions faced by people working in the salt mines on a small coastal region of Venezuela's Caribbean peninsula. The screening will be followed by a conversation between curators J. Raúl Guzmán and Idurre Alonso. Join us for a reception with the curators after the event.
