Crow Museum To Host Expert Discussion on Latin American, Caribbean Art
March 3, 2025
The Trammell and Margaret Crow Museum of Asian Art of The University of Texas at Dallas is hosting a discussion about a current exhibit, Un/Popular Art: Redefining a Latin American and Caribbean Tradition, on Thursday, March 13 from noon to 1 p.m.
Featuring a range of mediums whose origins span Latin America and the Caribbean, the exhibition challenges conventional understandings of “folk art” by offering nuanced perspectives on ideas of authenticity, foreign influence on artistic production and Native identification.
The conversation will feature the exhibit’s curators, Dr. Emmanuel Ortega and Dr. Ananda Cohen-Aponte, who will discuss how the exhibition demonstrates ways to better understand the diverse artistic traditions that continue to shape the region’s visual culture today.
The event will be moderated by Crow Museum curator Dr. Natalia Di Pietrantonio and tickets are free to UTD faculty, staff and students, as well as to Crow members.
