Abstract:

Join Jasmine Baetz, MFA Ceramics ‘20 and project lead for the Los Seis de Boulder Sculpture Project, in conversation with student and alumni collaborators who worked on this public art project.

00:00 Megan Friedel starts the panel session; 01:35 Artist of the Los Seis de Boulder sculpture, Jasmine Baetz, introduces the panel topic and panelists who are former students that helped with the sculpture; 05:20 The panelists introduce themselves starting with Lucero Aguirre, Carlos A. Sandoval, Gladys Preciado, and Celina Jara Tovar; 08:15 Jasmine asks the panel what their first impressions were of CU Boulder when they started as students. The students often talk about the feeling of alienation and culture shock; 12:28 Jasmine asks the panel how they learned about Los Seis de Boulder and how the information changed their experience while at school; 22:40 Jasmine asks the former students "what aspect of working on the project for Los Seis stands out to you today?" Also, "how did working on this project inform the ways you approach other spaces you work, live, and learn in?" ; 32:30 Jasmine asks questions from the audience, the first one being, "If the panel could talk about how they would respond to people who say that the sculpture represents a story that has too much depth for a university space"; 36:10 What are the connections between the deaths of Los Seis and the passing of Román Esaí Anaya Méndez; 40:20 Jasmine asks a question from the chat about how the university only likes to share stories and art about Latinx culture during Hispanic Heritage Month and uses that as a poster child for diversity; 42:55 An audience member comments that they are bothered about the way the Los Seis project is used by white academics and taught in the Art History program and asks the panel how they navigate the increasing awareness of the project; 48:43 An audience member asks the panelists about the difficulties they encountered while attempting to make the sculpture a permanent installation; 53:00 David Garcia reflects on his experience as a member that helped create the sculpture; 53:50 An audience member asks the panel what drove the overall shape and fabric of the monument?; 57:50 The final comment from an audience member expresses gratitude for the sculpture and uses it as a reminder to stay strong despite the battles still going on today; 59:06 Megan Friedel acknowledges that the symposium and conversations that occur today would not be happening without their work.
