THE HISTORY OF THE FUTURE

May 11 - June 29, 2011

For more than three decades, Michael Berman and Julian Cardona have focused their work on the desert southwest and the people crossing the Mexico/U.S. border. The exhibition presents their multiple collaborations of the last seven years.

Berman’s images depict the bleak beauty of the land in Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico while Cardona captures people and places with which he is intimately familiar.

In conjunction with the exhibition, two events will be held: a multi-media lecture, Aliens are Coming: Fears of a Brown Invasion and the Vilification of Latino Immigrants in the USA and a panel discussion, The History of the Future, Beyond the Border of Mexico and the US. Click HERE for details.

Exhibition and program funding is provided by the Lannan Foundation. Additional support for educational programming comes from Tulane University’s Interdisciplinary Committee for Art and Visual Culture (ICAVC), Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies, and Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
