The Art Talk is back! Joins us on Zoom on September 29th.
The reasons for Latin American artists fleeing their birth homes are many: personal, political, ideological or even artistic. It is due to this movement of people that artists not only broadened their artistic horizons but also embraced the Latin American experience in a completely different dimension. For some, Latin America was rediscovered, but for others, it was simply a geographical anecdote in their heritage. This talk takes a glimpse at the artistic trajectories and contributions of Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, Uruguayan artist Joaquin Torres Garcia, and Chilean artist Roberto Matta.

Wednesday, September 29th, 7pm to 8:30pm PST
On Zoom.
