Ethereal Femmes - The art world’s Met Gala, in collaboration with Jerry Gogosian.

Lotte Andersen, in conversation with curator Silvana Lagos and gallerist Claudia Pareja for a walk-through of her project “It’s not you, it’s me. It’s complicated.”

Currently based in Lima, the British interdisciplinary artist invites viewers to engage and expand on themes and codes embedded in her investigation. Having produced all of the work on show at NADA Miami in Lima during the recent coup d’etat, Andersen will discuss her experience of working away from home against the backdrop of this watershed year. Using parallels between the political instability in post-Brexit England and the ever present ripples of post-colonialism, the talk will touch on the recent political upheaval in Peru in conjunction with ideas on the fall of empire, popular culture and the choreography of nostalgic collapsing relics. A humbling reminder that potential is often born from chaos.

Conversation between artist Cecilia Vicuña and Camila Marambio, curator and Director of the nomadic research programme Ensayos, as they explore the temporality and fragility in collective actions. Exploring art & text as a political device - the book as an intimate conversation.

seminar on the work of Paola Torrez Núñez de Prado, with Dr. Giuliana Borea as we explore the exertion of power in the hierarchy of translation and interpretation. Dismantling and decoding languages lost, and dissecting the use of data and AI in interpretation.

Conversation between artist Rosana Antoli, and Marti Manen, Director of Index, as they explore the artist’s body of work, interweaving a specific fictional history of movement into a cosmos of relations, placing us in the rhythmic eddying of past, present and future constellations. Expanding on the notion of linguistics and translation as an artistic practice.
