“… the production of this art collective has been deeply influenced by the nature of materials shortages on the island. Ediciones Vigia has demonstrated for decades that artistic expression can never be suppressed by international or domestic machinations…. Vigia’s esthetic is specific to this local environment, while also being very international in reach. In this sense, hardship breeds community, beauty, and meaning. Beauty and meaning engender understanding, compassion, and positive response. Ars longa, and thus ultimately will always triumph over politics.” –-Max Yela, Head, Special Collections, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries and part of the panel presenting at Redlines on Friday Dec. 5, 6-8pm, 1422 N. 4th Street in Milwaukee.
