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.
This MOLAA Zoom Project event is supported by Oxigeno Feria de Arte.
