 d Contemporary Art\, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Harvard Art
  Museums\nDoris Salcedo's sculptures and installations address the continu
 ing oppression and violence plaguing not only her native Columbia but soci
 eties throughout the world. Her art often incorporates domestic furniture\
 , giving a material presence to the unsettling absence and to the haunting
  pain that endures in those who survive. Salcedo will discuss how her work
  weaves together the poetic\, the political\, and the philosophical with t
 hose violent events that mark daily life for so many. Her current exhibiti
 on\, Plegaria Muda (&ldquo\;Mute Prayer&rdquo\;)\, has travelled to ?ve mu
 seums\, in Mexico City\; Malmo\, Sweden\; Lisbon\; Rome\; and Sao Paulo. S

 g\, and ?lm. The lectures will include conversations with the artists\, wh
