Listening as a creative process is fundamental to the artistic practices of Lizania Cruz, Jenelle Esparza, and Pepón Osorio. Each artist translates and uplifts untold or suppressed stories that are personal, familial, and communal into artworks loaded with history. This panel brings the artists into conversation to share how they listen and then transform the stories they gather into materially rich and thought-provoking projects and installations.
This conversation is moderated by Marcela Guerrero, DiMartini Family Curator, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Adriana Zavala, Executive Director, US Latinx Art Forum.
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.
