\u201cTake Five\u201d, a Film in CD Format by Mar\u00eda Agosto (1995). Marcela Peacock Collection. MC292, Box 24. Williams College Archives and Special Collections.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mar\u00eda Magdalena Agosto \u201895 (1959- )<\/span> is a Nuyorican (New Yorker\/Puerto Rican) who after returning to higher education, transferred to Williams College. Graduating Summa Cum Laude with a degree in English and Women\u2019s studies, Mar\u00eda was an exemplary student who dedicated her time to political activism and exploring Latino\/a identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In her film TAKE 5 Mar\u00eda documented multiculturalism on Williams campus as well as political mov<\/span>ements of the time, specifically the VISTA hunger strike. Then, in her performance art piece titled Bochinche, Mar\u00eda confronts stereotypes commonly held against Latinas. By juxtaposing characters such as \u201cChiquita Banana\u201d or \u201cLethal Lady\u201d with anecdotal accounts inspired by lived experiences, Mar\u00eda challenges viewers to take a critical approach to their own preconceptions. Lastly we are given a greater insight into Mar\u00eda\u2019s life with the lecture \u201cLupine is Divine\u201d where she explores her journey with the chronic illness Lupus and reflects on Western views of medicine and health.<\/span><\/p>\n
