Violence and Politics
Pepper Canyon Hall, Room 106
1pm
The last discussion associated with the current exhibition entitled Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art that aims to explore the global ramifications of gender-based violence. “Throughout the world, women and girls are victims of countless and senseless acts of violence. The range of gender-based violence is devastating, occurring, quite literally, from womb to tomb,” explains Randy Jayne Rosenberg curator and executive director of Art Works For Change. “The stories that underlie these artworks return us imaginatively to the event of violation and allow it to affect us.”
This program examines the laws that keep women in compromised positions around the world as well as within the US.
Patrick Anderson, Assistant Professor of Communications, UCSD will facilitate the discussion with Carmen Chavez from Casa Cornelia Law Center, Steve Bush who created the legislation know as Jenny’s Law, Summer Stephan who is the District Attorney of North County, San Diego.
