This event brings together Dr. Adriana Zavala PhD’01, director of the U.S. Latinx Art Forum and Associate Professor at Tufts University, and award-winning artist Firelei Báez to discuss race and gender in Latinx art with a focus on Baez’s interventions. The conversation will reflect on both historical and speculative frameworks in discussion of blackness, femme gesture, and cultural production.
