As part of the ongoing exhibition in the Walter and McBean Galleries, We Remember the Sun, L. M. Bogad and Praba Pilar will perform an original piece that commemorates the anniversary of an act of terrorist aggression: the CIA-assisted military overthrow and killing of Chile’s democratically elected President, Salvador Allende. A rooftop ritual, We Remember the Sun: 9/11/1973 will mark the spirit of rebellion, social hope, and solidarity that typified progressive political movements like that of Allende's a generation ago.



We Remember the Sun:  9/11/1973

On September 11th, at 7pm, L.M. Bogad and Praba Pilar will perform an original piece commemorating the anniversary of an act of terrorist aggression: the CIA-assisted military overthrow of Chile's democratically elected President, Salvador Allende. This rooftop ritual will remember the sun of hope and rebellion that shone around the world a generation ago, with its triumphs and failures, its precious solidarity and numerous betrayals.

Your dreams censored before your eyes! Highly practical coup-survival training games for subversives on the run! Ritual sacrifices of hopes and desires, officiated by Pablo Neruda and Henry Kissinger! Join us and let us ask together: Are reaction and repression inevitable? Can we prevent this sun from setting?
