Her talk will explore how these works reflect the complex social, political, and spiritual dynamics of migration, and how they blend the cultural heritage of immigrants with colonial influences to create a unique visual language of identity and adaptation.

The author of Heaven, Hell, and Everything in Between: Murals of the Colonial Andes and Reimagining Lost Visual Archives of Black and Indigenous Resistance, her research examines racial formation, cross-cultural exchange, and the legacies of colonialism in Latinx art.
