STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE/FRESA Y CHOCOLATE, (Spanish/English subtitles, 1994); Rated R. Introductory remarks by Diana Valencia, Ph.D., associate professor of Spanish at Saint Joseph College. Directed by Tomas Gutierrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabio, this award-winning comedy/drama from Cuba explores the relationship between Diego, a cultivated, apolitical, skeptical young artist living in Havana and David, a fiercely communist homophobe. Despite their conflicting sexualities and political ideologies the two slowly build a relationship out of their differences, proving that camaraderie and friendship can overcome the most divisive superficialities. The film will be screened at 7:00 p.m. in The Bruyette Athenaeum’s Hoffman Auditorium; General Seating. Tickets: $8 Adults; $5 Art Gallery Members; free for all students.

February 16 at 5:00 p.m. - Gallery Talk and Reception
“SILENCE, SUNLIGHT, SHADOWS: THE LEGACY OF EMILIO SANCHEZ”
presented by Professor Dorothy Bosch Keller M'85, C'97, chairperson, Department of Fine Arts and Performing Arts at Saint Joseph College. Capturing the visual essence of the transient nature of sunlight and shadows is a daunting task. Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez (1921 - 1999) portrays the ineffable in an almost effortless manner by making the transient static. The artist invites the viewer to dialogue with a unique, creative and powerful portrayal of silence. In his early works, Sanchez depicts architectural elements in reportorial detail. By the 1960s, his works become increasingly abstract, conveying a sense of unwavering geometric regularity which combines to create a stark personal comment about light and shadow.
Join us at 5:00 p.m. in the Saint Joseph College Art Gallery located in The Bruyette Athenaeum. Admission: free of charge.
