This weekend, Dr. Harper Montgomery—a professor of Modern and Contemporary Latin American Art at Hunter College—“will address how a remarkably mobile generation of artists in Latin America envisioned modern art as a tool for resisting colonialism and celebrating new subjectivities.”
Montgomery will “describe how artworks and criticism circulated among Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Havana, and Lima through printed media, friendships, and the artists’ desire to forge a network among cultural centers in Latin America in the 1920s.”*
Montgomery’s lecture will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Aleca Le Blanc and Rachel Kaplan, moderated by Ilona Katzew.
