Artist talk and exhibit: Nuestro Tema: Llamada y Repuesta
On November 18, 1:00 - 3:00 PM, join Taller Puertorriqueño for a conversation with Tim Gibbon, Heather Raquel Phillips (ACG '17), Melissa Beatriz Skolnick-Noguera(WOO '17, ACG '12), and Wit López about their work in the third group of Nuestro Tema: Llamada y Repuesta. The artists will talk about their process and the intentionality in their work, including their engagement with the themes of identity and the role of the artist in the community. The conversation will be facilitated by curator Rafael Damast, and audience participation is encouraged!
Nuestro Tema looks at Taller’s community through a sample of its art collection. The works in the collection are the “Call” invoked in the title. In turn, Taller invites outside artists to respond to the work as well as encourages the community to comment – the “Response.”
