DETAILS

On September 11, 1973, the elected government of Chile was toppled
by right-wing elements of the Chilean military (who had the support
of the US government).  Decades of terror(ism) followed; thousands
of Chileans and others were tortured and killed before democracy
was restored.  Our exhibit of photographs spans the last 30 years
and helps us remember these events and understand their lasting
impact. The exhibit opens with a few words, a bit of poetry, and
a reception.  It runs through October 18.

The exhibit is co-sponsored with us by the MIT Large Event Fund;
the Council for the Arts; and the Office of the Associate Provost
for the Arts.  The opening on Thursday is the first in a sequence
of events we are organizing to remember the coup (for more
information please see http://web.mit.edu/hemisphere/events/).
