MOLAA’s Zoom Project is an invitation to explore the work of some of the most influential and inspiring artists from Latin America and Latinxs in the US.

In each chapter, the conversation with the artists and our MOLAA Chief Curator, places the focus on a series or specific artwork which requires a close inspection and deliberate process of contemplation, and exploration. They delve into the ideas surrounding the creation of the works, their sources of research and inspiration, in an effort to immerse ourselves in the world of the artists.

During this session, Gabriela Urtiaga, MOLAA Chief Curator, will interview multi-disciplinary artist Guillermo Bert. The talk explore the different methods he uses to reconcile and explore his bicultural experience (Chile/ USA), and how he infuses this dynamic in his decades-long practice of working with cultural symbols of urbanism, consumerism, displacement and migration.
