I am pleased to invite you all this November 12th to the public lecture on this project 8 months in the making. I will be talking about the process of creating this transnational body of work and the histories that came out of it. I hope to see you there!

Join artist Óscar I. González Díaz for a round-table conversation on the implications, negotiations, and eventual renaming of NAFTA.

The artist will use their artworks and their respective material histories to provide examples and contextual use of the treaty. Structured around the events that facilitated the production of the soccer balls in the exhibition (the conversation with producers in Mexico., the tariff implications as the tariffs changed daily, and the treatment with customs) the conversation will also center around the practices of labor outside the US for consumption of products in the U.S.

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

This program is part of S-W-O-O-$-H, a HATCH Projects exhibition featuring new works by Óscar González-Díaz and Matthew Wead, curated by Courtney Cintron.
