KEN GONZALES-DAY TO GIVE ARTIST LECTURE ON "ERASED LYNCHINGS"

Los Angeles artists Ken Gonzales-Day will discuss his ongoing series Erased Lynchings; a series of photographs that began as a response to anti-immigration and anti-Latinx rhetoric that led to an increase in violence and vigilante activities against Latinxs and immigrants along the U.S. and Mexican border. Gonzales-Day takes historic photographs of lynchings and removes the victims' bodies from them to address the erasure of certain minorities from historical accounts of lynchings.

The lecture will take place on Thursday October 21, 2021 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm at the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
