Geography Of Nostalgia and Memory: Panel Discussion



Join a thought-provoking panel with artists Luis Cruz Azaceta and Carlos Estévez and curators Janet Batet and Claudia Taboada as they explore memory and childhood through the lens of contemporary art. Batet and Taboada examine how memories shape cultural identity, bridging the personal and collective past to offer insights into heritage and technology’s role in preserving memories.


Azaceta, renowned for his evocative work on exile and trauma, delves into how childhood memories of displacement influence his artistic language, reflecting on themes of survival and resilience. Estévez, inspired by metaphysics and surrealism, captures the essence of childhood wonder and curiosity, often using symbolic elements to evoke nostalgia and existential questioning. This discussion offers a unique glimpse into how these artists tap into memory and early experiences to explore universal themes of identity, resilience, and the human journey through art.
