According to the University of California, Berkeley, which is showing an exhibit of “Colombian artist Fernando Botero’s depictions of Abu Ghraib prison abuses,” it will host “a series of public conversations on campus on related issues such as art and violence, torture, human rights and terrorism,” including “a panel discussion on ‘Art and Violence’ [that] will feature Timothy J. Clark, a UC Berkeley art history professor and renowned authority on modern art; Tom Laqueur, a UC Berkeley history professor; and Francine Masiello, a UC Berkeley professor of Spanish and Portuguese and a scholar of Latin American culture” as well as “A Conversation with the Artist.” (Attending one or both?
