Nuances of Latin American Art

Latin American art covers a vast geographic area and includes a variety of diverse cultures. Originating in indigenous art strongly associated with spiritual and religious life, Latin American art was influenced by European and African styles, philosophies and techniques. Nowadays, the contemporary art scene of the region is extremely dynamic and complex, gaining a growing attention from international art connoisseurs and critics. 

During one hour long talk we will explore: 

1) what actually is covered by the term Latin American art?

2) how Latin American art has been shaped and what major forces impact its development today?

3) regional and generational diversity through artworks of 3 female artists: Vivian Cacurri (Brazil), Laura Carralero (Cuba), Lilliana Porter (Argentina).
