Instructions
Chapter 20 includes artworks from a wide range of geographic regions, including Latin America.
To continue our exploration of this topic, research and share a 21st-century Latin American artist. Be sure to select a contemporary visual artist who was/is alive in the 21st century, as well as a visual artist who actively produced artworks during the 21st century. Our chosen Latin American artist could live in the region, or they could live elsewhere but have Latin American ancestry. Note that Latin America generally refers to territories within Mexico, and much of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Do not select an artist someone has already covered in the forum. Pick someone new to share instead. To avoid accidentally doubling up, you should “call dibs” early in the week to let everyone know who you are researching.
Post
For your initial post in the forum:
-
write 300-400 words describing a 21st-century Latin American artist. Our well-edited paragraphs must be scholarly, thorough, and specific. Where are they from? What is their background and training as a visual artist? What kind of contemporary artworks do they create? Who or what inspires or informs their artistic practice? What is their reason for making art? Etc.
