Presented by the Art & Art History Department, Career Development Center, Institute for Diversity in the Arts, and Stanford Arts Institute
Join us for a lively panel discussion about what it means to work in the arts and how to get there. Moderated by Matthew Tiews, Executive Director of Arts Programs, and featuring distinguished Stanford staff and faculty:
- Enrique Chagoya, Professor of Art & Art History and visual artist specializing in painting, drawing and printmaking.
Drawing from his experiences living on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border in the late 70’s, and also in Europe in the late 90’s, Enrique Chagoya juxtaposes secular, popular, and religious symbols in order to address the ongoing cultural clash between the United States, Latin America and the world at large. He uses familiar pop icons to create deceptively friendly points of entry for the discussion of complex issues. Through these seemingly harmless characters Chagoya examines the recurring subject of colonialism and oppression that continues to riddle contemporary American foreign policy.
- Wiley Hausam, Executive Director of Stanford Live and Bing Concert Hall
Wiley Hausam joined Stanford University in February 2012 following positions as Executive Director of The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College and at the Skirball Center NYU. He is a presenter of theater, dance, music and opera, a creative consultant, theater producer, teacher, and manager of performing arts facilities.
- Robert Moses, IDA Artist in Residence; Choreographer, Founder and Artistic Director of Robert Moses’ Kin Dance Company
Robert Moses has been on the dance faculty at Stanford University since 1995, and currently holds the title of Artist In Residence in Drama and Dance. He has worked closely with the Committee on Black Performing Arts and Institute for Diversity in the Arts since 2005.
- Connie Wolf, Director of Cantor Arts Center
Connie Wolf became the John and Jill Freidenrich Director of the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University on January 1, 2012. This was a return to her alma mater, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in East Asian studies in 1981. Wolf has arrived at Stanford at a transformative time for the arts, as the university develops its new arts district with the Cantor Arts Center as its anchor to two new buildings: The McMurtry Art & Art History Department building and the Anderson Collection at Stanford.
