Presented in conjunction with the exhibition algo•ritmos (2 tienes santo pero no eres babalao) by william cordova, on view at Locust Projects, this panel discussion brings together scholar Dr. Terri Francis and curator Aldeide Delgado for a conversation on representations of resistance, identity, and self-definition in 20th-century television and film. Taking iconic shows like Good Times and ¿Qué Pasa, USA? as points of departure, the panel explores how popular media constructs and contests dominant narratives of race, class, and cultural belonging. The discussion expands into the visual arts, reflecting on how these cultural frameworks continue to shape artistic cultural production and community histories.
