Abstract

Abstract: This series of research seminars, organized in Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil, focused on Latin American and United States Latino art from 1960 to 1990. It challenges the dominant narrative of modernism that places Latin American and Latino art in the margins. Working together, senior scholars and advanced graduate students analyzed the history of Latin American avant-garde and neo-vanguard art from a comparative perspective, focusing on such topics as transnational exchanges among artists and collectives, and the impact of political and economic change.
