UA MUSEUM OF ART EXHIBITION
LA FRONTERA: SELECTED
WORKS BY ERIN CURRIER

SEPT. 28, 2017, THROUGH JAN. 7, 2018

“‘La Frontera’ takes stock of a dream shared by all of
our African, Asian, European and Indigenous ancestors
alike: a dream of the Americas in the context of
freedom and liberation for everyone. The work
references the borders one must confront in pursuit
of this dream: the physical U.S.-Mexico border and its
Mediterranean counterparts as well as institutionalized
borders that impose divisions between races and
economic classes. Ultimately, ‘La Frontera’ posits the
potential of dismantling these borders.” — Erin Currier

An opening reception with the artist will be held on
Thursday, Oct. 12, from 5-6:45 p.m. The reception
will be followed by a reading from “The Poetry of
Resistance” at 7 p.m. at the Center for Creative
Photography, sponsored by the University of Arizona
Poetry Center.
