Guillermo Gómez Peña Keynote Address - 2002

Those who attended the 2002 CSTI Banquet enjoyed a riotously funny, yet scathingly topical keynote address by Guillermo Gómez Peña of Pocho Nostro. Gómez and his colleagues in Pocho Nostro had entertained and provoked CSTI participants the night before with their performance piece Mexotica that looked at issues of cultural appropriation and fetishization and racism. For those who missed this outstanding keynote, you can now enjoy it in its entirety in QuickTime format. Because of its length we have broken it up into 6 separate files. Warning!!! We guarantee that you will explode with laughter!
