In each chapter, in a conversation between the most remarkable artists from Latin America and Latinxs in the US and our MOLAA Chief Curator Gabriela Urtiaga, we place the focus on a series or specific artwork that 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, to immerse ourselves in the world of the artists. This session will be pre-recorded at the exhibition taking place in Venice, Italy.
This session will be in Spanish with live English translation.
Betsabee Romero is a Mexican artist who, for more than 20 years, has specialized in the elaboration of a critical discourse about issues such as migration, miscegenation, and mobility, through the re-semanticization of symbols and daily rituals of the global consumer culture, such as cars, tattoos, urban signage, etc.
In the same way, she has been interested in addressing the problems of public art and popular art, its permanence and relationship with the social fabric and with alternative audiences to contemporary art. She has had more than 100 individual exhibitions on 5 continents, including those of the British Museum, Grand Palais, York Avenue in Washington, the Mexico Pavilion at Expo
