María Magdalena Campos-Pons will present an intimate performance art piece at the Frist Center in relation to her exhibition Journeys, on view in the Gordon Contemporary Artists Project Gallery from October 7, 2011 to January 8, 2012. The Cuban-born Campos-Pons creates photographs, video and multimedia installations that tell the story of the survival of African cultures by evoking rites, myths and narratives that have evolved through generations. Her work symbolically follows the history of the slave trade by drawing on her own family’s origin in Nigeria then to Cuba, where her ancestors worked as slaves in the sugar industry, to present-day Boston, where Campos-Pons now teaches art.  Held in the Auditorium.
