Join Kathryn Zupsic for an afternoon talk inspired by the NEA Big Read.
Starting in 1930s Mexico City with famous works by Diego Rivero and Frida Kahlo, this talk follows the thread of modern Mexican art movements through the decades and across the border, culminating in the vibrant Chicano art scene in the U.S. today. We’ll look at art from both sides of the border, with colorful imagery lifted from ancient Mayan ruins, Mexican folk art, Catholicism, graffiti, cars, and the L.A freeways.
