UC Berkeley Events | My mother, the painter: Storytelling in Central American Studies @UCBerkeleyEvents | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
On October 21, 2021, Professor Leisy J. Abrego (Chicana/o and Central American Studies, UCLA) joined IGS for the Race, Ethnicity and Immigration Colloquium, which invites speakers from the Berkeley campus and other institutions to share research touching on various aspects of race, ethnicity, and immigration (learn more: bit.ly/3BlADON).
Professor Abrego shared a conversation with her mother, the artist Margoth Abrego. Their meandering conversation touched on Margoth's recollections of patriarchal violence, war trauma, and state-sponsored violence — details that provide context for understanding her creative process, artistic themes, and joy. Narrating through the lens of a qualitative researcher, Professor Abrego explores storytelling produced through such conversations as one possibility for engaging survivors of state violence, honoring their experiences holistically, and highlighting their agency in intimate ways.

Presented by the Institute of Governmental Studies; co-sponsored by the Center for Race & Gender at UC Berkeley.
