Transgresoras: Mail Art and Messages, 1960s-2020s reveals how Latinx and Latin American women artists subverted the censorship of authoritarian regimes by using the government’s postal system.

Actor and UCR theater professor Kimberly Guerrero is having a moment, as they say in old Hollywood vernacular. The moment started about six years ago, and it’s gathering momentum. The latest milestone in her acting career may be the pinnacle to date, in the just-premiered “IT: Welcome to Derry” series on HBO Max.  “I’ve worked more in my 50s, and on very high-profile work, than I ever had. It’s been one project after another,” said Guerrero, a professor in the Department of Theatre, Film, and Digital Production. “I’m on a high right now.”

On Wednesday, October 8, UC Riverside’s College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences will host “Palabra y Poder: An Evening with Sandra Cisneros.”

The curator of the only foreign and independent movie house in Riverside does watch shows on his laptop. But he’ll never give up watching film in person, and he doesn’t want you to, either.
