Drawing from public text submissions to an online repository of personal perspectives on Nicaragua, Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga constructs a revisionist history portraying the ebb and flow of Latin American Marxist revolution. At a time when the U.S. government considers possible flaws in its current interventionist strategies, and as South American socialist leaders challenge U.S. policy, the installation FALLOUT: What’s Left collapses the past with the present in an attempt to rattle the U.S.’s media amnesia. The installation will feature propaganda posters commissioned for the installation from four designers: Isabel Chang, Enrique Sacasa, Ed Adams, and David Ulrich; a new video game by the artist “Always Go Left;” a mini FM public radio station, and free Skype sessions during the holiday season for migrants separated from family.
