Arlene Dávila: The Latinx Playbook
09/15/20 • 37 min
I am thrilled to chat with Arlene Dávila, Professor of Anthropology and American Studies at New York University. Her new book Latinx Art: Artists, Markets, and Politics wields her first hand experiences in the art world and leverages her tenured academic voice to bring together conversations that affect Latinx Artists across the country. Latinx poses questions that could be the playbook for what the new paradigm of the Latinx art and other Latinx endeavors, can look like in a post Covid world. Listen in as we talk about the many elephants in the art world, that to our own detriment, we have been trained to politely ignore. It is time to have these conversations, Arlene and her book are opening the forum, join us.

Wellness and the Initiative to Escape
There is a window of opportunity right now. We can create new ways of functioning and thriving as artists. Listen in as I talk about my first group show since covid and how different it all is. I talk about how the initiative of artists have created amazing opportunities for other artists and performers as in the back story of A Chorus Line and like the “Septembrollage” challenge, that has really been activating my studio. But before we take on this new work and look ahead into the next six months, let’s make sure we choose our mental framework from a wellness perspective. An escape is closer than you think, and you don’t have to leave, but you can’t stay here, not in the same way as before.
Septembrollage created by: Ariane Valesqua and Elsa Botting Leone

Meet Quinn Antonio Briceño, a Nicaraguan Irish American artist working in Saint Louis, Missouri. I got to speak with Quinn right before his first gallery solo show “Como Tu” at Houska Gallery.

Listen in as Quinn talks about how he reconnects to his roots and mother tough through his work. Also, get the load down on “Bean Paper” and “Math Rock”!
