Artistic Expression and Human Rights
An Evening of Film, Music and Friends

Film: Artist of Resistance, documents the excavation of a mass grave in El Mozote, El Salvador through the eyes of Claudia Bernardi, a Berkeley artist originally from Argentina, who accompanied the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team. Her mission is to record the truth: was it a battle between two armies, or a massacre? Through her experience we come to understand not only the importance of knowing and remembering but also the alternative the arts offer by creating and recreating.

The one-hour screening will be followed by a short panel discussion with the documentary filmmaker Penelope Price, filmmaker Mel Halbach and photographer Ilille Sawady.

Music: Enjoy live music before the film, then dance to DJ after 11pm

When: Friday, August 5, 7:00-11pm

Where: The West End, 2911 Broadway at 114th Street, New York, NY

How Much: $15 suggested donation. Food and drinks available for purchase.
