Visit the ICP library during this Free Third Thursday for special screenings of Art21 short films selected by multidisciplinary artist Muriel Hasbun on the occasion of her first New York City survey exhibition, Muriel Hasbun: Tracing Terruño. As an artist and educator, building community and connecting with the practice of other artists has been a crucial aspect of her practice. During this program, Hasbun curates a selection of short films featuring artists she often shows within the classroom, highlighting stories of migration, retelling of histories, and exploring identity through personal archives.
In addition to stopping by to view the films, see ICP's fall exhibitions for free during this evening.
Muriel Hasbun (b. 1961, El Salvador) is an artist and educator who focuses on issues of cultural identity, migration, and memory. Through an intergenerational, transnational, and transcultural lens, Hasbun constructs contemporary narratives and establishes a space for dialogue where individual and collective memory spark new questions about identity and place.
Hasbun is the founder and director of laberinto projects, a transnational cultural memory and education initiative that fosters contemporary art practices, social inclusion, and dialogue in El Salvador and its U.S. diaspora. She is professor emerita at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design at the George Washington University, and previously, professor and chair of photography at the Corcoran College of Art + Design.
