Speakers:
- Esperanza Mayobre is a Brooklyn-based Venezuelan artist whose work often conceptualizes the political and economic events that have led her home country of Venezuela into economic and moral ruin.
- Carlos Motta’s (b. 1978, Colombia) multi-disciplinary art practice documents the social conditions and political struggles of sexual, gender, and ethnic minority communities in order to challenge normative discourses through acts of self-representation. As a historian of untold narratives, Motta is committed to in-depth research on the struggles of post-colonial subjects and societies. His work manifests in a variety of mediums including video, installation, sculpture, drawing, web-based projects, performance, and symposia.
