Join us at the DePaul Art Museum for a performative lecture and conversation with Mexico City-based experimental artist Ana Gallardo in collaboration with live, Spanish-to-English interpreter and artist, Fabrizzio Subia. Gallardo will present on her artistic practice spanning over three decades which includes drawing, video, social practice, and artistic interventions. Gallardo’s work is based on the need to make mourning a public process from a perspective that places the open wound of violence against women at the center. An intimate conversation with DePaul Art Museum’s Curator Ionit Behar follows the presentation.
