Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four excavates the nightmarish persecution of Elizabeth Ramirez\\, Cassandra Rivera\\, Kristie Mayhugh\\, and Anna Vasquez—four Latina lesbians wrongfully convicted of gang-raping two little girls in San Antonio\\, Texas. The film begins its journey inside a Texas prison\\, after these women have spent nearly a decade behind bars.
\n
They were 19 and 20 years at the time that allegations surfaced. Using the women’s home video footage from 21 years ago combined with recent verité footage and interviews\\, the film explores their personal narratives and their search for exculpatory evidence to help their losing criminal trials. 15 years into their journey\\, director Deborah S. Esquenazi captures an on-camera recantation by one of the initial outcry victims\\, now 25 years old although 7 at the time of the investigation. This brings the filmmaker into the role of investigator along with attorneys at the Innocence Project\\, who are just beginning their quest for truth in this case. In November 23 of 2016 the San Antonio Four were finally exonerated by the court of criminal appeals. The documentary was cited in the first paragraph of the opinion.

She uses materials that range from prescription pill bottles to sweaters\\, and often obtains them as secondhand objects from people in participating communities. These objects transform into her media and become complex\\, conceptual\\, and beautifully intricate works of sculpture. Her work is distinguished by her labor-intensive process\\, and these breathtaking installations seem to capture the essence of communal and societal issues that everyone faces in their day-to-day life.\nBorn in Seoul\\, South Korea\\, and raised in the United States\\, Shin attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1999 and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Science from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\\, New York. Her work has been widely exhibited in more than 150 major national and international museums\\, including in solo exhibitions at the Crow Collection in Dallas\\, Texas; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona; Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington\\, DC; the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia\\, Pennsylvania; and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Shin has received numerous awards and has been featured in a multitude of publications worldwide. In 2016\\, Shin completed a major commission for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York at the 63rd Street Station on the new Second Avenue subway line\\, as well as a public art commission for the city of Seattle\\, Washington. She lives and works in New York City.

It will provide the opportunity to discuss the African American church\\, and its historical and contemporary role as both sanctuary and location for civic and political activism. Taking the exhibition as point of departure\\, the objective of the symposium will be to explore the history of the black church in the United States\\, and to open a discussion about the historical intersections between the Christian conversion of enslaved Africans\\, and the metaphorical and real church as location and catalyst for spiritual and political redemption.\n“Immanuel\\,” the Hebrew word for “God is with us\\,” gave Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church its name\\, and the concept of “Immanuel” offers a powerful point of departure for both the artwork of Dr. Twiggs and the broader themes the symposium will explore. The symposium will consist of four talks and a panel discussion leading up to the opening artist talk. JCSM has been deliberate in choosing a scholar who can address the history of the African American church both nationally and in Alabama\\, a scholar from Charleston\\, and scholars from the local community. \nSCHEDULE \n12:15 P.M.
