Join us on Thursday, Oct 21, 6-8pm for MacArturos Conversations/ Platicas, a series of virtual artist talks by Amalia Mesa-Bains, whose work is currently on view at our space, as well as Sandra Cisneros, Maria Varela, and Guillermo Gómez-Peña. The four artists are members of the MacArturos, a self-organized group founded in 1995 by Latino MacArthur Fellows committed to providing cultural and intellectual events in Latino regional communities.

Presented in conjunction with Toward Common Cause, these conversations or platicas will engage in a variety of topics including the arts, community transformation, cultural performance, and political history.

Tune in to Lumpen.tv for the livestream, presented by Toward Common Cause media partner Public Media Institute. This event is co-presented by the National Museum of Mexican Art and the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago in collaboration with the MacArturos.
