EXPO ChicagoArchives and Diaspora | Memory Traced Through Artists in ExposureSunday, April 16th, 2023
This panel explores the intersection of archives and diasporas, focusing partly on the research Iglesias Lukin conducted for This Must Be The Place: Latin American Artists in New York: 1965-1975, an exhibition and book born of her doctoral dissertation researching migrant artists in the city during the surge of the neo-avant gardes. In dialogue with Agustín Díez Fischer, director of the archive Fundación ESPIGAS, and artists Iván Krassoievitch and Susana Wald, the panel investigates how the migrant experience informs their life and practice, and how archives constitute a tool to keep a memory away from home.
