In each chapter, MOLAA Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga talks with the most remarkable artists from Latin-America and Latinxs in the US. Their conversation places the focus on a series or specific artwork which requires a close inspection and deliberate process of contemplation and exploration; delving 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. 

Join Chapter #9 of MOLAA Zoom Project where MOLAA's Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga will join artist Patssi Valdez for a virtual conversation. The talk will explore her work and trajectory.
