Rodrigo Moura (Artistic Director Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, MALBA), Ana Daniela Nahmad (PhD in Latin American Studies, UNAM), and Itala Schmelz (philosopher, curator and professor). Moderator: Esteban King (Curator of ZⓈONAMACO ARTE MODERNO).
This conversation explores how modern artistic practices can be understood in relation to the contested and shifting definitions that had shaped the interpretation of Latin American art. Rather than a fixed or immutable notion, this dialogue with museum and academic professionals addresses the debates surrounding art from the region, considering specific curatorial projects and objects of study that extend beyond painting into film, popular culture, and other cultural expressions.
