Bay Area Now 9 | Paz G

Paz G’s mural, sculpture, and sound piece ensemble collectively called “You Have a Broken Heart” is rooted in a journey to reconcile their personal narrative, marked as it is by the impact of the Chilean military dictatorship, which lasted from 1973 to 1990, and their father’s early militarization under the rule of Augusto Pinochet.
On February 15, 2024, Paz and 8 other artists featured in “Bay Area Now 9” altered or covered their exhibited work as part of a demonstration in support of Palestine. Watch to see how their installation prompts viewers to contemplate their personal connection to love, family, resilience, and forgiveness-and the universal resonance of personal creative expression.
