 s) in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute (GRI)\, Video Art in
  Latin America surveys groundbreaking achievements and important thematic 
 tendencies in Latin American video art from the 1960s until today. The eme
 rgence of video art in Latin America is marked by staggered and multiple p
 oints of development across more than a dozen artistic centers over a peri
 od of more than 25 years. The earliest experiments with video in Latin Ame
 rica began in Argentina and Brazil in the 60s and 70s\, respectively. In t
 he late 1970s artists in Colombia\, Mexico\, and Puerto Rico began to use 
 video. Artists in Chile\, Cuba\, and Uruguay took up the medium in the 198
 0s and the 1990s and 2000s saw video art movements emerging in Ecuador\, G
 uatemala\, and Costa Rica.?In the latter part of the 20th century\, early 
 portable video equipment\, in particular the Portapak\, represented a dece
 ntralized media outlet for voicing opposition. At this time\, video artist
 s positioned the body as the site of expression in traumatic political con
 texts\,? said co- curator Elena Shtromberg. ?Contemporary video artists in
  Latin America are continuing to pursue social themes\, exploring ideas ab
 out gender\, ethnic\, and racial identity as well as the consequences of s
 ocial inequality\, ecological disasters and global violence.?BIO:Elena Sht
 romberg is Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at
  the University of Utah. She specializes in modern and contemporary Latin 
 American visual culture\, with a specific focus on Brazil and the U.S.-Mex
 ico border region. Her book\, ?Art Systems: Brazil and the 1970s? (Univers
 ity of Texas Press\, 2016) explores visual forms of critique and subversio
 n during the height of Brazilian dictatorship by tracing how the encounter
  of artistic practice with information and systems theories redefined the 
 role of art in society. Her interdisciplinary research interests extend to
  gender and media studies\, cultural studies\, as well as communications\,
  geography and postcolonial theory. She has been the recipient of grants f
 rom the Woodrow Wilson Foundation\, the American Council of Learned Societ
 ies\, the Social Science Research Council and DAAD\, among others. During 
 her research leave in 2011-12 she was a guest scholar at the Getty Researc
 h Institute in Los Angeles. She has also curated a number of exhibitions\,
  the latest among them a co-curated survey entitled ?Video Art in Latin Am
 erica? which opened in September 2017 at LAXART\, an alternative art space
  in Los Angeles\, part of the Getty Foundation?s initiative PST: LA/LA. Sh
 e is now working on a co-edited volume\, ?Encounters in Video Art of Latin
  America? (Getty Publications\, 2020) and a scholarly monograph on the rol
 e of historical memory in video art titled ?Fugitive Memories?.To find out
