SUMMARY:Art & Family Archive: Vivian Poey: Barquito de papel
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday, February 22, 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nEvent: Artist Talk and Activity\nGenerously funded by the Framingham Cultural Council. \n\nJoin us for an artist talk with Vivian Poey as she investigates her own history of migration within a larger social, political and historical context considering the ocean as an ever-present border.\n\nActivity: After Vivian’s talk we will be building paper boats to complete her installation.\n\n“For years I have been photographing everyday physical borders that separate us from whatever is on the other side: walls, windows, screens as well as monumental borders like the ocean. These everyday borders serve as an intimate way to investigate immigration. They combine with historical family images that include the ocean, a formidable border. This installation combines shifting images of borders with barquitos de papel, paper boats, folded from paper printed with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Declaration of the Rights of the Child…”\n\nVivian Poey is an artist and educator in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her work examines a number of issues ranging from migration and cultural assimilation to the passing of time. She is a US citizen, born in Mexico of Cuban parents and lived in Guatemala and Colombia before moving to the U.S. This complicated trajectory informs all of her work, which serves as a method of investigation, and includes photography, installation and performance.\n\nTo know more about Vivian please visit her website: www.vivianpoey.com\n\n
