In a world where the discussion about empowering women, race, class, and equity is more relevant and necessary than ever before, we are so pleased to present Herland, Women artists in the MOLAA Collection.

In this panel discussion, we bring together 5 accomplished Latina and Latin American artists featured in the HERland exhibition, with distinct styles and approaches to their art-making processes, but united in making powerful work connected to a surrealist imaginary and defined a new powerful land with new meanings.
