Join Scott Farrell, program director of Chivalry Today and head instructor with the San Diego Longsword medieval fencing program, for a look into the language, function, and artistry of knightly armor in Shakespeare’s world. From the glory of Henry V, to the supernatural apparitions of Hamlet, to the treachery of Macbeth, arms and armor appear over and over in Shakespeare’s works, and a thorough understanding of the “visual language” of medieval and Renaissance armor lends a much deeper, more nuanced understanding of many of his stories and characters.

We are excited to share this call out for our fourth and last exhibit to round out the four-part Borderlands Visions series. This last exhibit, titled Anti-Border Futures might seem contrary to the series title. However, we end on this note because it is the reality of living in the borderlands, what Chicana queer theorist Gloria Anzaldúa aptly called “an open wound” and “a thin edge of barbed wire we call home”, that is the necessary precondition to generating a world otherwise, precisely because we have had to sit with, feel, think, endure the painstaking physical, emotional, psychological, epistemic, and embodied violence that borders constantly produce and sustain.Centro Cultura de la Raza on Facebook / Instagram
