This month in Art and Ideas, our series of courses dedicated to exploring Latin American and Latinx (do you want to include any Latinx artists?) visual artists, we will delve into the work of queer artists who use diverse artforms to examine themes of sexuality, gender, and cultural identity. Participants will explore these artists’ work through a mix of presentations, discussions and practical art activities, and gain insights into how these artists challenge societal norms, express lived experiences, and celebrate diversity.

Artists featured in this course include, Félix González-Torres (USA- Cuba), Enrique Espinola, Verónica Fernández and Feliciano Centurión (all from Paraguay) and Paola Paredes (Ecuador) whose innovative approaches span artforms such as textiles, painting, photography, installations and ceramics Join us to expand your understanding of contemporary art and its role in shaping cultural conversations around identity and expression.
