Her work arises out of long periods of observation and documentation, in which the camera is present as an object with social implications and as an instrument mediating aesthetic thought. Her films frequently start out through research into specific social structures, individuals, or events, which she transforms into moving image, at times supported by objects and texts. Santiago Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s recent work has been concerned with post-military land, Haitian poetics, and the sensorial unconscious of anti-colonial movements. Recent solo exhibitions include:\u00a0<em>Song, Strategy, Sign<\/em>\u00a0at the New Museum,\u00a0<em>A Universe of Fragile Mirrors<\/em>\u00a0at the P\u00e9rez Art Museum of Miami, MATRULLA, Sala de Arte P\u00fablico Siqueiros, M\u00e9xico City;\u00a0<em>Post-Military Cinema<\/em>, Glasgow International;\u00a0<em>The Black Cave<\/em>, Gasworks, London. Her work is included in public and private collections, such as the Whitney Museum, Solomon Guggenheim Museum, and Kadist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/front.bc.ca\/events\/that-which-identifies-them\/\">Western Front Gallery<\/a>\u00a0@ 303 East 8th Avenue (Mount Pleasant)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Reminders<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Next week students will bring in a GIF piece as a response to Beatriz&#8217;s work, they will be shown in class for a very relaxed celebratory critique.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 26 &#8211; 28\u00a0 &#8220;Gallery Trip&#8221; Outcomes Enact a critical outlook as visual readers, recognizing how meaning is cultivated and perpetuated through representation.
