Artist Talk + Performance: Guillermo Galindo

Mills College Art Museum

Virtual talk, performance and Q&A featuring artist and experimental composer Guillermo Galindo.

Join us for a virtual talk, pre-recorded performance and Q&amp;A featuring artist and experimental composer Guillermo Galindo. Galindo will discuss their work Siguiendo Los Pasos del Niño Perdido/Following the Steps of the Lost Child (2017), recently acquired by the Mills College Art Museum. The piece is a graphic score based on the movements of a lost child, embroidered onto a flag used along the U.S./Mexico border to indicate the location of water tanks for migrants. We will screen Border Cantos, a collaboration with photographer Richard Misrach in which the quotidian artifacts of migration are fashioned into instruments to be performed. Siguiendo Los Pasos del Niño Perdido/Following the Steps of the Lost Child was identified and selected for inclusion in the MCAM Collection by Mills students in the fall 2020 Museum Studies Workshop, and represents our efforts to diversify the MCAM Collection and support work by BIPOC and LGBTQ artists. You can see Galindo’s piece in our digital exhibition <a href="https://mcam.mills.edu/about/musuem-studies.php" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shifting Perspectives</a>, online now.ABOUT THE ARTIST<a href="https://www.galindog.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Guillermo Galindo</a> (b.
