Each chapter will feature a conversation between the most remarkable artists from Latin America and Latinx in the U.S. and our MOLAA Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga. Together we will focus on a series or specific artwork which requires a close inspection, a 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.

This is a pre-recorded session which will be a available on Wednesday, Feb 23 In MOLAA’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MuseumofLatinAmericanArt
