“These forms stem from the effects of violence. They are mingled with the color of blood, but, at the same time, this is where a dialogue with life, with new beginnings and fresh hope starts.”–Imran Qurashi

Dear Friends,

Here at Cultural Agents, summer is off to a busy and invigorating start. We have been finishing rounds of Pre-Texts summer workshops for teachers, collaborating with the SHARP fellowship program, and planning for a visit with one of our main inspirations on cultural agency: Pedro Reyes.

Pedro Reyes
@ the Arnold Arboretum!Mexican artist and cultural agent, Pedro Reyes responds to gun violence by melting decommissioned firearms and transforming them into cultural resources, such as shovels and musical instruments. His project, Palas por pistolas, comes to Boston on July 12th. Reyes will address the idea of artist as recycler and agent of change with a tree planting using one of his signature shovels.

Please contact us for more information.
