X as Intersection: Latinx Artists in Conversation

February 5, 2025

1pm PST | 3pm CST | 4pm EST

Online, via Zoom

The potency of material as a bearer of memory and ancestral connection is shared across the diverse practices of M. Jenea Sanchez and Gabriela Muñoz of Fronterizx Collective, Charo Oquet, and Gadiel Rivera Herrera. In this conversation, the artists will share how their art approaches materiality as a means of engaging with their regional homelands and spiritual cosmologies through an embedded methodology that transcends time, history, and place.

This conversation is moderated by Susanna Temkin, Senior Curator, El Museo del Barrio, and Marina Reyes Franco, Curadora, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico.

This program is part of X as Intersection, a four-part virtual public program series featuring conversations with fellows from the fourth cohort of the Latinx Artist Fellowship, an initiative of the US Latinx Art Forum.
