ISLAA Open House

​Join ISLAA for a special afternoon marking the final opportunity to experience its spring exhibitions before they close. Designed for everyone, from first-time visitors to longtime art enthusiasts, the program offers a warm, celebratory introduction to four remarkable artistic practices from across Latin America.

​Mariano López Seoane, Director of the Graduate Program and ISLAA Fellow in Latin American Art at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, will discuss Ulises Beisso: (Hidden) in Plain Sight; Elise Chagas, Ph.D. candidate in Art and Archaeology at Princeton University, will present Yeni and Nan: Genesis; and Ana Luiza de Abreu Claudio, Ph.D. candidate in Latin American and Iberian Cultures at Columbia University, will introduce Chonon Bensho: Biri biri imaboi / Your fingertips will glow.

​Guests are also invited to explore Spotlight: Bernardo Krasniansky, featuring the Paraguayan artist's experimental Xerox works, as well as the ISLAA Research Center and Bookstore.

​Join us for art, conversation, and complimentary refreshments, plus 50% off selected ISLAA Bookstore titles and merchandise for the afternoon.

​The program will be presented in English. Space is limited; advance registration is strongly encouraged.
