ICA LA, Los Angeles
In conjunction with the exhibition *[Sandra Vásquez de la Horra: The Awake Volcanoes](https://www.theicala.org/en/exhibitions/468-sandra-vasquez-de-la-horra-the-awake-volcanoes)*, join us for an evening of Chile in Los Angeles with a screening of the newly released documentary *I Write Your Name / Escribo Tu Nombre* by Brogan de Paor and Julie Thompson about the LA-based Chilean artist and muralist Francisco Letelier. Deeply informed by his close connections to Chile’s unfolding history, Francisco is the son of Orlando Letelier, who was minister of Defense in Salvador Allende’s Chilean government in 1973. Imprisoned, tortured, and then exiled to Washington, D.C., Orlando was murdered by the Augusto Pinochet government in 1976 in Sheridan Circle when Francisco was 16. As an artist based in Venice, California, Francisco is an important member of the local and national Chilean community. His work celebrates his country’s traditions of political muralism and serves as both a form of memory and an act of resistance.
